Excerpt
Severe exercise is generally known to induce oxidative stress. A number of makers to predict the oxidative stress such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and glutathione are evaluated in various tissues. Recent reports also suggest that oxidative DNA injury occurs by exercise-induced disturbance in redox status. To date, exercise training is considered to induce the up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes, which prevent extensive cellular damage. However, the effect of regular training on oxidative DNA damage after an acute exhaustive exercise remains to be examined in humans.
