Superoxide anion radical, a radical whose toxicity is well documented, is present in the uterus of albino rat. The cyclic changes that it undergoes during the reproductive cycle are also illustrated. An inverse correlation is seen between the levels of superoxide radical and the enzyme dismutating it, i.e., superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1), which is also reported to be present in the uterus of albino rat and is shown to exhibit cyclic changes during its oestrous cycle. The high levels of superoxide radical at pro-oestrus enable us to hypothesize that superoxide may be involved in regulating the oedema and cell proliferation of the uterus during proestrus.Key words: superoxide anion radical, superoxide dismutase, uterus, oestrous cycle, uterine oedema, cell proliferation.

Abstract Conduction band potential is one of the most crucial physicochemical properties of semiconductor towards photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical aplications. Inexpensive home-made Arduino devices is proposed for determination of flat band potential, based on the well-established method: open-circuit photovoltage measurements. To verify proposed measurement procedure, series of titanates has been prepared by a straightforward hydrothermal procedure and characterized – band structure of materials has been determined, in terms of band gap energy and conduction band edge potential. Finally we demonstrated the photocatalytic formation of superoxide anion radical. Interestingly, the efficiency of O2-• can be correlated, in part, with the potential of conduction band edge. Photocatalyst characterized by particularly low potential of conduction band edge can generate the superoxide anion radical with highest efficiency.
