## Abstract Exercise‐induced deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage is often associated with an increase in free radicals; however, there is a lack of evidence examining the two in parallel. This study tested the hypothesis that high‐intensity exercise has the ability to produce free radicals that may

✦ Synopsis
Iron storage proteins, ferritin and haemosiderin, release iron to a range of chelators and reducing agents, including citrate, acetate and ascorbate. Released iron promotes both hydroxyl radical formation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation in fiposomes. Ferritin protein is modified in such reactions, both by free radical cleavage and addition reactions with aldehyde products of lipid peroxidation.
