Conditions: chemical treatment by environment: L-BMAA, heat shock
heat shock
Name: heat shock
Synonyms:
Definition: Temperature shock condition in which fish are subjected for a short period of time to temperature higher than the controlled temperature. The standard controlled temperature (according to the zebrafish book) is 28.5 degrees C.
Ontology: Zebrafish Environment Condition Ontology [ZECO:0000166]
chemical treatment by environment: L-BMAA
Name: chemical treatment by environment
Synonyms:
Definition: Chemical treatment condition in which the chemical is introduced through the environment. For zebrafish this is the tank water.
Ontology: Zebrafish Environment Condition Ontology [ZECO:0000238]
Name: L-BMAA
Synonyms: 3-(methylamino)-L-alanine, beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine, BMAA, L-alpha-amino-beta-(methylamino)propanoic acid, L-alpha-amino-beta-(methylamino)propionic acid
Definition: A non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid that is L-alanine in which one of the methyl hydrogens is replaced by a methylamino group. A non-proteinogenic amino acid produced by cyanobacteria, it is a neurotoxin that has been postulated as a possible cause of neurodegenerative disorders of aging such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS-PDC) syndrome of Guam.
