I am not sure that there is an answer to either
question. There is ample evidence in the literature
on the benefits of exercise as it pertains to LDL,HDL
and triglycerides. Most, if not all of the studies
have been done with aerobic type exercise, however I
am sure that similar if not the same benefits can be
obtained with resistance training.
It probably does not matter what kind of exercise is
done as long as it stress the muscles and
cardiovascular system sufficiently.
I have been doing some research since posted and as of
yet I have not come up with specific answers to any of
your questions.
I did come across the following from a Cardiology Text

▪
▪BENEFITS OF EXERCISE
The specific mechanisms by which physical activity
reduces mortality and cardiovascular events are likely
multifactorial, and extend beyond a reduction in
cardiovascular risk factors, because beneficial
effects have been shown on thrombosis, endothelial
function, inflammation, and autonomic tone. The
magnitude of blood pressure reduction attained with
exercise is modest and in mildly hypertensive persons
yields an effect that is similar to pharmacological
monotherapy.
several important and beneficial effects on glucose
metabolism including increased insulin sensitivity,
decreased hepatic glucose production, preferential use
of glucose over fatty acids by exercising muscle, and
reduced obesity.[15] In addition, regular exercise may
prevent the onset of diabetes mellitus.[16] A widely
known fact is that overweight and obesity are
associated with significant increases in
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.[17] Exercise
training appears to be an important component of
weight loss programs, although most randomized
controlled trials show only modest reductions in
weight. Studies suggest that exercise is necessary to
maintain weight loss and prevent weight regain after
diet-induced weight loss.[18] The effects of exercise
on lipid profiles demonstrate the greatest benefit on
triglycerides, modest changes in high-density
lipoprotein (HDL), and little to no change in
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels.[2] However, some
data suggest that exercise training reduces the
concentration of atherogenic, small, dense LDL
particles.[19] A recent study of monozygotic twins
shows a strong genetic component to HDL levels that
can be slightly but favorably modified by vigorous
activity.[20]
Further evidence suggests that exercise training has
beneficial effects on the fibrinolytic system, and
many studies report an inverse relationship between
physical activity or fitness and inflammatory
markers.[21] Chronic exercise training appears to have
an important and favorable influence on endothelial
function in both peripheral[22] and coronary
arteries.[23] Improved endothelial vasodilator
function may result, in part, from increased nitric
oxide production and a net reduction in oxidative
stress,[25] as well as an increase in endothelial
progenitor cells.[26] Such improvements may contribute
to a reduction in adverse cardiovascular events.[27]
Finally, exercise training appears to modulate
favorably the balance between sympathetic and
parasympathetic tone, an effect associated with
improvements in survival.[28]
Changes in the muscular, cardiovascular, and
neurohumoral systems that result from exercise
training improve functional capacity and strength.
These changes are referred to as the training effect
and enable an individual to exercise to higher peak
work rates with lower heart rates at each submaximal
level of exercise. A decline in maximal exercise
capacity is associated with aging, and a longitudinal
study demonstrates that this is more marked with each
successive decade of life.[29] Although regular
exercise may attenuate this loss of exercise capacity
at any age, it does not appear to prevent the
progressively greater decline with advancing age.[29]

I have yet to come up with a specific answer to the
mechanism. If I find an answer I will post it.
