How does oestrogen increase hdl levels?

Apo A1: The major protein on the HDL lipoprotein particle is apo a1. Estrogen increases the production of this protein, and that causes more HDL particles to be made. The higher HDL in women (pre menopause) is the major reason women have less coronary disease than men.
