Abstract:Antitryptic, antichymotryptic and antipapain activities in maternal serum were
measured in the course of normal pregnancy. An increase in inhibitory capacity toward the
three examined proteases was demonstrated. The level of antipapain activity was highest
between the 13th and 24th weeks of gestation in contrast to antitrypsin and antichymotrypsin
activities which have shown the highest values between the 25th and 36th weeks of pregnancy.
