Abstract excerpt
The lipase E hormone-sensitive (LIPE) enzyme is one of the lipolytic enzymes, and it plays a key role in the regulation of adipose tissue deposition. This study was conducted to investigate the possible association between the LIPE gene variations and the main body weight measurements in Awassi sheep. A total of 160 of sexually mature Awassi rams (Ovis aries) that aged between 2 and 3 years were included in the...
