‘Total’ concentrations refer to the sum of the free plus conjugated species. Urine paraben/phenol significant between visit correlation, p-value
<0.05,
<0.01,
<0.001.
Concentrations below the limit of detection (LOD) were assigned a value equal to LOD divided by the square root of 2, for all calculations.
