Table 2 The association of ADIPOQ genotypes with reproductive hormones assay of Awassi ewes

Indices	ADIPOQ genotype (LSM ± SE)			P value
Indices	CC	CA	AA	P value
Follicle-stimulating hormone (ng/ml)	18.22 ± 1.72	19.37 ± 1.40	19.78 ± 1.23	0.44
Luteinizing hormone (ng/ml)	20.98 ± 0.32	21.11 ± 0.61	22.53 ± 0.43	0.32
Estradiol (pg/ml)	34.97 ± 0.78^b	42.87 ± 0.70^ab	50.52 ± 0.64^a	0.03
Progesterone(ng/ml)	3.41 ± 0.03^b	5.22 ± 0.07^ab	6.10 ± 0.04^a	0.01

LSM ± SE least square means ± standard error. Different superscript in the same raw within each classification indicates significant differences (P ≤ 0.05), Bold numbers indicates the P value with statistical significance
