Superoxide Dismutase Activity in the Oviductal and Uterine Fluid of the Bitch and the Effects of the Enzyme on Viability, Motility and Hyperactivation of Canine Sperm In Vitro

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in flushings from oviducts and uterine horns of 8 anestrous, 5 estrous and 7 diestrous bitches was measured.
