Numerous studies have shown that cf nDNA significantly rises in stress caused by exercise. However, during nuclear decondensation, released DNA is followed by histones. Histones are also a common disease marker. After PAD4 mediated hypercitrullination extracellular H3Cit exhibits high toxicity contributing to tissue damage which, in cases of systemic inflammation, may lead to multiorgan failure and finally to death. We tested whether circulating histones rise in response to strenuous exercise. Eleven average-trained men performed three treadmill exercise tests to exhaustion at speed corresponding to 70% VO2max separated by 72 h of resting. Blood was collected before and just after each bout of exercise and plasma proteins were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, whereas platelet activity was estimated with Light Transmission Aggregometry. Both, circulating histones and PAD4 raised in response to exercise. Plasma citrullinated histones increased from 3.1 ng/mL to 5.96 ng/mL (<i>p</i> = 0.0059), from 3.65 ng/mL to 6.37 ng/mL (<i>p</i> = 0.02), and from 3.86 ng/mL to 4.75 ng/mL (<i>p</i> = 0.033) after the first, second, and third treadmill run, respectively. However despite the parallel increase, no significant correlation between citrullinated histone and aggregation or cell-free nDNA was found. Furthermore, positive correlations of cf nDNA with aggregation and PAD4, lactate with aggregation, and lactate with citrullinated histone have been observed.
