Archives of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology · 2025 · in vitro
Using OECD-validated reporter cell assays (HeLa-9903 and AREcoScreen), methylparaben acted as an oestrogen-receptor agonist and androgen-receptor antagonist in vitro, leading the authors to raise concerns about endocrine-disrupting effects from the widespread use of methylparaben in personal-care products.
Toxicology · 2006 · in vitro
In cultured human HaCaT keratinocytes, methylparaben alone at a practical concentration (0.003%) had minimal effect, but combined with UVB it significantly increased cell death, oxidative stress, nitric oxide production, lipid peroxidation and transcription-factor activation, suggesting methylparaben may amplify sun-induced skin damage.
