Does the liver produce less cholesterol if a person eats a lot of cholesterol?
I can't find any real study on this. I only found couple of blogs like this:

“It turns out the liver does a really good job of regulating the balance between the cholesterol the body makes and the cholesterol we eat,” says Brown. “If we eat more cholesterol, the liver will produce less cholesterol, and vice versa.”
I'm not sure if this is true or not.
