The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-week ¥â-hydroxybutyrate (¥â-HB) administration with and without endurance exercise training on endurance exercise performance and skeletal muscle protein synthesis and degradation using a mouse model. Forty-eight male wild-type ICR mice (8 weeks old) were randomly divided into four groups: sedentary control (Sed+Con), sedentary ¥â-HB (Sed+¥â-HB), exercise control (Exe+Con), and exercise ¥â-HB (Exe+¥â-HB). ¥â-HB was dissolved in PBS (150 mg/ml) and injected subcutaneously daily (250 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. Mice performed 5 days/week of a 20 min treadmill running exercise for 8 weeks. The running exercise was carried out at a speed of 10 m/min at a 10¡Æ incline for 5 min, and then the speed was increased by 1 m/min for every 1 min of the remaining 15 min. Following 8 weeks of treatments, visceral fat mass and skeletal muscle mass, blood parameters, and the markers for autophagy and protein synthesis were analyzed. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA (p<0.05) using the SPSS 21 program. Eight weeks of Exe+¥â-HB treatment significantly lowered blood lactate levels compared with the other three groups (Sed+Con, Sed+¥â-HB, and Exe+¥â-HB) (p<0.05). Eight weeks of Exe+¥â-HB significantly increased maximal running time (time to exhaustion) compared with the Sed+Con and Exe+Con groups (p<0.05). Eight weeks of ¥â-HB administration significantly decreased autophagy flux and autophagy-related proteins in the skeletal muscle of mice (p<0.05). Conversely, the combined treatment of ¥â-HB and endurance exercise training increased protein synthesis (mTOR signaling and translation) (p<0.05). The 8-week ¥â-HB treatment and endurance exercise training had synergistic effects on the increase in endurance performance, increase in protein synthesis, and decrease in protein degradation in the skeletal muscle of mice.
