Human nails as a valuable noninvasive alternative for estimating exposure to parabens

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Exposure of human to parabens (commonly used preservatives) is inevitable due to their extensively applied in numerous consumer products. Thus, a reliable noninvasive matrix reflecting long-term exposure to parabens is essential for human biomonitoring ...

Chronic exposure to low levels of parabens increases mammary cancer growth and metastasis in mice.

Endocrinology, 2023
Methylparaben (MP) and propylparaben (PP) are commonly used as food, cosmetic, and drug preservatives. These parabens are detected in the majority of US women and children, bind and activate estrogen receptors (ER), and stimulate mammary tumor cell ...

Transcriptome analysis reveals differences in developmental neurotoxicity mechanism of methyl-, ethyl-, and propyl- parabens in zebrafish embryos

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Studies on the comparison of developmental (neuro) toxicity of parabens are currently limited, and unharmonized concentrations between phenotypic observations and transcriptome analysis hamper the understanding of their differential molecular mechanisms.

Alkyl protocatechuates as novel urinary biomarkers of exposure to p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters (parabens)

Environment International, 2013
Human exposure to p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters (parabens) is a concern, owing to adverse health effects of these compounds. Parabens are metabolized and eliminated from the human bodies within a few hours of exposure.
