However, a Danish-Finnish cohort study on cryptorchidism with 62 cryptorchid and 68 healthy boys from 1997 to 2001 showed that no association between phthalate monoester levels and cryptorchidism but positive correlations of MEP and MBP with SHBG, correlations of MMP, MEP, and MBP with LH: free testosterone ratio, and MINP with LH as well as negative correlation of MBP with free testosterone (Main et al., 2006). Here, MBP is linked to cryptorchidism.
