NADPH dependent O-2(.-) production in the ovary and uterus of cycling and pregnant mice was estimated employing a novel technique of time-lapse electron spin resonance enhancement of a superoxide-trapping spin trap. The NADPH dependent O-2(.-) generation in the mouse ovary increased during the early pre-ovulatory phase in cycling females and during extended luteal phase in pregnant animals. A peak of uterine NADPH dependent O-2(.-) production at proestrous in the cycling animals at pre-implantation phase in pregnant animals suggested a contribution of this enzyme towards generating high levels of superoxide anion radical during the respective stages. Both ovarian and uterine NADPH dependent O-2(.-) production appeared to be LH-inducible.
