Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) is an endothelial receptor that binds and degrades oxidized low-density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL), thus having a physiological role in metabolism. Polymorphisms in the OLR1 gene are associated with animals with different production traits. Due to this, the study aimed to determine if OLR1 polymorphisms in Awassi ewes associate with live body weight and...
