Percent change in number of participants expressing a Th2-like cytokine ratio (standardized IFN-γ < IL-4) across phases of the menstrual cycle, separated by sexual activity status. There was no significant change in cytokine ratios across the cycle in sexually abstinent women. Among sexually active women, there was a significant decrease between menses and ovulation, and significant increase between ovulation and the luteal phase, in the proportion of the sample expressing Th2-like cytokine ratios.
