Abstract
Echinochrome A, an active inhibitor of lipid peroxidation, was found to appear and accumulate in developing sea urchin embryos. Complex mutual effects of various components of extracts from sea urchin embryos were noted to take place with methyl oleate peroxidation. These effects may reveal the functional role of naphthoquinones in sea urchins.Keywords
