Abstract: | It has previously been shown that maternal nutrition affects the fetal environment, with consequences for the infant’s health.
From early pregnancy onwards participants here received a combination of dietary counseling and probiotics (Lactobacillus
GG and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12; n = 10), dietary counseling with placebo (n = 12), or placebo alone (n = 8). The major differences in placental fatty acids were attributable to a higher concentration of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty
acids in both intervention arms than in controls. Further, dietary counseling with probiotics resulted in higher concentrations
of linoleic (18:2n-6) and dihomo-γ-linolenic acids (20:3n-6) compared with dietary counseling with placebo or controls.
