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.
