Changes in cervical neutrophil elastase levels during the menstrual cycle
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1007/s12522-011-0104-7

PURPOSE: Cervical mucus plays an important role in host defense mechanisms and is involved in the ascendance of sperm. To determine the change of neutrophil mediators contained in cervical mucus, we measured total neutrophil elastase (NE) l…
