UNASSIGNED: @entity3676 ( @entity71410 ) and @entity14053 ( @entity14054 ) are common ingredients in household bathroom and kitchen cleaning sprays. @entity71410 + @entity14054 cause reproductive @entity137 in @entity19 . The aim of the present study was to investigate gender-specific reproductive effects from @entity71410 + @entity14054 . Female reproduction was assessed through ovulation, oocyte implantation, and estrus cycling. Male reproductive function was assessed by sperm concentration, motility, and viability. Numbers of corpora lutea were not different after 2 weeks, but decreased after 8 weeks of @entity71410 + @entity14054 exposure. Dams exposed for 5 weeks to @entity71410 + @entity14054 spent significantly less time in estrus. @entity71410 + @entity14054 exposed males exhibited declines in both sperm concentration and motility, but not sperm viability. @entity249 in @entity19 from @entity71410 + @entity14054 exposure is, therefore, mediated through reproductive disturbances in both females and males. While the effect of @entity71410 + @entity14054 exposure on @entity1 health is unclear, widespread exposure necessitates further consideration of their potential reproductive @entity137 .
