IntroductionKallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases which in women are produced by Skene’s glands. It evaluated the variation of concentrations in KLK3 and immunoglobulins IgA, IgM, IgG and IgE in the menstrual cycle (follicular (FP), ovulatory (OP) and luteal (LF) in young women living in two areas with different environmental impact.Materials and methods82 women aged between 22 and 34, normo-men...

Introduction: Recent studies report the presence of KLK3 in women serum, KLK3 is excreted by Skene glands, it is involved in the production of cervical-vaginal fluid (CVF). Activation of KLK3 is pH depending, it has been hypothesized to have antimicrobial, immuno-regulator activity and vaginal and cervical epithelial desquamation. We intend to verify if KLK3 is present in female serum, in which menstrual cycle phases KLK3 ...
