Claim 0:
1. A method of stratifying human female subject, comprising
a. obtaining an initial sample of the female subject's menstrual fluid;
b. separating proteins of the menstrual fluid;
c. measuring the level of glycation, and, optionally, glutathionylation, of the hemoglobin subunit alpha in the sample and determining the number of glycation events, and, optionally, glutathionylation events on the hemoglobin alpha subunit;
d. obtaining a subsequent sample of the female subject's menstrual fluid and performing the separating and measuring steps to determine the number of glycation events, and, optionally, glutathionylation events, on the hemoglobin alpha subunit in the subsequent sample; and
e. assigning female subject to a category based on the number of glycation events, and, optionally glutathionylation events on the hemoglobin alpha subunit in the initial and subsequent sample of the female subject's menstrual fluid and using said category for clinical trial enrollment and/or medication dosing.
