Objective: Prolonged microgravity environments impair skeletal muscle homeostasis by triggering fiber-type transitions and metabolic dysregulation. Although exercise nutritional interventions may alleviate disuse atrophy, their synergistic effects under conditions remain poorly characterized. This study investigated the of an 8-week ketogenic diet combined with aerobic in hindlimb-unloaded mice on fiber remodeling adaptation. Methods: Seven-week-old male C57BL/6J were randomly divided into six groups: normal control (NC), hindlimb unloading (NH), (NHE), (KC), (KH), (KHE). During last two weeks intervention, was applied to simulate microgravity. Aerobic groups performed moderate-intensity treadmill running (12 m/min, 60 min/day, 6 days/week) for 8 weeks. Body weight, blood ketone, glucose levels measured weekly. Post-intervention assessments included respiratory exchange ratio (RER), exhaustive performance tests, biochemical analyses parameters. The composition evaluated via immunofluorescence staining, lipid deposition assessed using Oil Red O glycogen content analyzed Periodic Acid–Schiff (PAS) gene expression quantified quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Results: Hindlimb significantly decreased body induced reduced endurance mice. However, combination KD attenuated these adverse effects, as evidenced increased proportions oxidative fibers (MyHC-I) glycolytic (MyHC-IIb). Additionally, this intervention upregulated metabolism-associated genes, including CPT-1b, HADH, PGC-1α, FGF21, enhancing metabolism ketone utilization. These adaptations corresponded improved performance, demonstrated time exhaustion KHE group compared other groups. Conclusions: a effectively ameliorates simulated microgravity-induced atrophy impairment, primarily promoting transition from MyHC-IIb MyHC-I (CPT-1b, PGC-1α). findings underscore potential therapeutic value dietary mitigating conditions.
