Undernutrition‐induced lipid metabolism disorder triggers oxidative stress in maternal and fetal livers using a model of pregnant sheep

This study aimed to evaluate the oxidative status and antioxidant capacity in maternal and fetal livers upon undernutrition as well as the connection between oxidative stress and lipid metabolism disorder. Ten ewes, who were pregnant for 115 days, were restricted to a 30% level of ad libitum feed intake to develop an undernourished model, while another 10 pregnant ewes were fed normally as controls. Undernutrition induced severe lipid metabolism...
