Fourteen untrained men performed an incremental exercise test to exhaustion and Wingate anaerobic test on two different occasions. Blood samples taken prior to the exercise, immediately post-exercise and 30 min post-exercise were analyzed for plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), plasma protein carbonyls (PC) and plasma 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). There were significant main effects for time or exercise type for 8-OHdG levels. After anaerobic exercise, 8-OHdG levels of the 30 min post-exercise were lower than those of the pre-exercise. There was no significant interaction or main effects for plasma MDA and PC levels. These data indicated that acute high-intensity aerobic and anaerobic exercise did not result in either lipid or protein oxidation. However, DNA oxidation was affected by anaerobic exercise.en10.5897/AJPP11.456info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcute exerciselipid peroxidationprotein oxidationDNA damageArticle51013211326N/AWOS:000295802900012Q4
