Methylparaben caused morphological changes in gerbil prostates in all experimental groups. These animals displayed similar alterations, such as prostate epithelial hyperplasia, increased cell proliferation, and a higher frequency of AR-positive cells. The RIVM noted that no adverse effects were measured, but it is unclear how the morphological effects were quantified. Only one dosage was measured. RIVM conclusion: Findings in the in vivo studies performed after the SCCS Opinions did not contradict the current NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day for Methylparaben. The available in vivo studies all have weaknesses in study design (e.g. with regard to statistics, small number of animals, no dose–response relationship measured) and in some, no adverse ED effects were found.
