This study investigated the effects of maternal undernutrition on the growth, development and antioxidant status of ovine placentome subtypes during late pregnancy. Eighteen time-mated Mongolian ewes with singleton fetuses were allocated to three groups at d 90 of pregnancy: Restricted Group 1 (RG1, 0.18 MJ ME.kg BW-0.75 d(-1), n = 6), Restricted Group 2 (RG2, 0.33 MJ ME.kg BW-035 d(-1), n = 6) and Control Group (CG, ad libitum, 0.67 MJ ME.kg BW-0.75.d(-1), n = 6). All animals were supplied chopped hay during the restriction period. At 140 days of pregnancy, the gravid uterus was removed; then individual fetuses and placentae were weighed. The numbers and weight of the placentome subtypes were examined. The number of vessels of the placentome subtypes were observed in sections stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The indexes of antioxidant capacity and oxidative stress, including total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and mal-ondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, were measured by spectrometric kits. The fetal weights, placental weights and the numbers of Type A placentomes in both restricted groups were reduced (P
