The vessel density distribution in the LBW and NBW placentae. A, B The hematoxylin and eosin method was used to examine blood vessel density in the LBW and NBW placental tissues, and the black arrows indicate placental blood vessels (bar = 100 μm, n = 24). C, D CD31 immunofluorescence staining in the LBW and NBW placentae (bar = 100 μm). E Correlation between placental blood vessel density and piglet birth weight (n = 24). F Correlation between placental total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and piglet birth weight (n = 24). G Correlation between placental malondialdehyde (MDA) and piglet birth weight (n = 24). LBW and NBW indicate piglets with a low birth weight (LBW) (less than 1.0 kg) and normal birth weight (NBW) (1.4–1.6 kg), respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Differences between groups were considered statistically significant at ** P < 0.01
