DatamainfiguresNew.xlsx. Datasupplementaryfigures.xlsx, The coordination of food intake, energy storage, and expenditure involves complex interactions between hypothalamic neurons and peripheral tissues including pancreatic islets, adipocytes, muscle, and liver. Previous research shows that deficiency of the transcription factor Alx3 alters pancreatic islet-dependent glucose homeostasis. In this study we carried out a comprehensive assessment of metabolic alterations in Alx3 deficiency. We report that Alx3-deficient mice exhibit decreased food intake without changes in body weight, along with reduced energy expenditure and altered respiratory exchange ratio. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals increased adiposity and decreased muscle mass, which was associated with markers of motor and sympathetic denervation. By contrast, Alx3-deficient mice on a high-fat diet show attenuated weight gain and improved insulin sensitivity, compared to control mice. Gene expression analysis demonstrates altered lipogenic and lipolytic gene profiles. In wild type mice Alx3 is expressed in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus neurons, but not in major peripheral metabolic organs. Functional diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging reveals selective hypothalamic responses to fasting in the arcuate nucleus of Alx3-deficient mice. Additionally, altered expression of proopiomelanocortin and melanocortin-3 receptor mRNA in the hypothalamus suggests impaired regulation of feeding behavior. This study highlights the crucial role for Alx3 in governing food intake, energy homeostasis, and metabolic nutrient partitioning, thereby influencing body mass composition., Peer reviewed

This dataset presents information on the vertical distribution and abundance of juvenile and adult myctophids (F. Myctophidae) throughout the daily cycle in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. The survey extended from south of the Canary Islands to south of Iceland and was carried out in May 2018. Results evidenced the diel vertical migration pattern to the upper 200 m of the water column, during night-time, and the return to the mesopelagic layers during the day, This research was funded by project "Biomasa y flujo activo en la zona batipelagica.

This dataset gives information on the vertical distribution and abundance of early stages of meso and bathypelagic fishes throughout the daily cycle in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. The larvae of the majority of species were found in the upper 100 m of the water column, both day and night. Transforming stages of myctophiforms and stomiiforms tend to be located at deeper depths during the day than at night. The most abundant specimens collected with the MOCNESS plankton net were the adults and juveniles of Cyclothone species, which do not show significant differences in vertical distributions between day and night, This research was funded by project "Biomasa y flujo activo en la zona batipelagica.

Using a previous mechanical characterization of two types of material, several lab-test work have been done. The data shows the particle size distribution of these tests, all the inputs and the model simulation presented in the related paper to this data base. The new mathematical approach use the operative conditions and the feed particle size distribution to obtain a product, which is compared with the lab-test results, An improved approach is presented to model the product particle size distribution resulting from grinding in high-pressure roll crusher with the aim to be used in standard high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR). This approach uses different breakage distribution function parameter values for a single particle compression condition and a bed compression condition. Two materials were used for the experiments; altered Ta-bearing granite and a calc-silicate tungsten ore. A set of experiments was performed with constant operative conditions, while varying a selected condition to study the influence of the equipment set-up on the model. The material was comminuted using a previously determined specific pressing force, varying the feed particle size, roll speed and the static gap. A fourth group of experiments were performed varying the specific pressing force. Experimental results show the high performance of the comminution in a high-pressure environment. The static gap was the key in order to control the product particle size. A mathematical approach to predict the product particle size distribution is presented and it showed a good fit when compared to experimental data. This is the case when a narrow particle size fraction feed is used, but the fit became remarkably good with a multi-size feed distribution. However, when varying the specific pressing force in the case of the calc-silicate material, the results were not completely accurate. The hypothesis of simultaneous single particle compression and bed compression for different size ranges and with different parameters of the distribution function was probed and reinforced by various simulations that exchanged bed compression parameters over the single particle compression distribution function, and vice versa.
