| 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. |

| 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. |
