In fact, Wallis and her colleagues revealed that DENND1B, along with four other genes they’d linked to canine obesity, were ...

Howl-lelujah! Dogs and humans are fatter than ever — it’s no surprise that overweight people tend to have overweight dogs.

The researchers explained that dogs are a "good model" for studying human obesity as they develop obesity through similar ...

Researchers examining British Labrador retrievers have identified multiple genes connected to canine obesity. The ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge say the dog gene found to be most strongly associated with obesity is also linked ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered genes linked to obesity in both Labradors and humans. They say the ...

It’s very difficult to keep these dogs slim, but it can be done,” Raffan said. The POMC gene and the brain pathway it affects are similar in dogs and humans. The new findings are consistent ...

A gene linked to obesity in Labradors is the same one found in humans, scientists say. The discovery could help researchers understand how genes influence appetite and weight gain.

The gene the researchers identified interferes with a brain signalling pathway that helps regulate our appetite Dogs that are ...

A gene that makes Labradors more likely to overeat is the same gene found in obesity-prone humans, according to new research. Scientists have discovered that changes to a particular gene, that’s ...
