DMAE added to the embryos at the two-cell stage in concentrations of 100-400 [micro]M did not alter cleavage divisions or blastulation, but at very high concentrations (600-800 [micro]M), cleavages were inhibited (Figures 2 and 3).
In these results, as in the studies with chlorpyrifos alone, sea urchin embryos were relatively insensitive during cleavage divisions and blastulation, but displayed high sensitivity at the mid-blastula 2 stage.
