Abstract:
Biochemical evaluation of cervical mucus is difficult due to the characteristic rheological properties of this hydrogel. The application of high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy proved to be a valuable new method for differentiated biochemical analyses of human cervical mucus. A particular advantage is that it is non-destructive, that it can be applied to specimens of small volume and that no sample preparation, such as solubilization, is necessary.
