Iodine Uptake in Larvae of the Purple Sea Urchin (Strogylocentrotus purpuratus Stimpson 1857): Evidence for Peroxide Dependent Diffusion of Iodine in an Animal
Echinoids (sea urchins and sand dollars) undergo thyroid hormone (TH) regulated larval development and several species can endogenously synthesize these hormones.
