Abbreviations: MP methyl paraben, EP ethyl paraben, PP propyl paraben, BP butyl paraben, ETP estrogen-equivalent total paraben

^a Means and median were calculated by substituting 1/2 of LOD for subjects with urinary concentration below detection limit

^b ETP was the sum of the urinary concentrations of 4 parabens weighted by relative estrogenic activity obtained in a yeast estrogen screen assay by Routledge et al. [8]

^c Not Applicable
