  • Title: The fibrinolytic enzyme system in cervical mucus.
    Author: Beller FK, Weiss G.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 1966; 17(5):654-62. PubMed ID: 4224058.
    Abstract:
    A clinical study was undertaken to assess the fibrinolytic enzyme system in cervical mucus in relation to the different stages of the menstrual cycle. Samples of cervical mucus from 8 women in the reproductive stage were taken on different days of the cycle and tested for components of the fibrinolytic system. The testing procedure is explained and the results graphed. Activator was found to disappear from the mucus for 2 days pre- and post-ovulation. Heating and freezing the mucus did not destroy the fibrinolytic activity. Testing was conducted for the presence of such other agents as proactivator, plasmin, and plasminogen in the mucus.
