The global obesity epidemic is expanding at an alarming rate, posing significant health risks for women of reproductive age due to immediate pregnancy complications and adverse long-term effects on offspring. Consequently, several non-pharmacological strategies have been proposed to mitigate these impacts. Therefore, we hypothesized that the combined application of the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and enriched environment (EE) will result in improved metabolic and histopathologic findings within a model of maternal obesity, surpassing the efficacy of individual therapeutic strategies. Using nulliparous Wistar rats, LGG was administered before, during, and after gestation, while EE was implemented during pregnancy and lactation. LGG supplementation and an enriched environment separately improved blood triacylglycerols. The enriched environment was more effective in reducing the effects of maternal obesity, even lessening liver damage observed in obese subjects in the form of vacuolar infiltrates. The results obtained suggest a potential functional interaction in this combined model, and the findings indicate that LGG may have influenced the modulation of enriched environment effects on metabolic parameters. Diet, probiotic supplementation, and environmental setting during the perinatal period have specific effects on biochemical and tissular parameters, establishing their descriptive role as non-pharmacological intervention strategies and underscoring the need for mechanistic studies to elucidate the biological pathways underlying these effects.
