Dogs are a good model for studying human obesity because they develop obesity through similar environmental influences as ...

UD researchers discover that differences in gene expression in fat could be the key to targeted obesity treatment. According ...

We led a study to find out how genes have such a significant influence on why humans (and dogs) become overweight. It was ...

Researchers studying British Labrador retrievers have identified multiple genes associated with canine obesity and shown that ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have identified a bunch of genes linked to obesity in dogs – and found the very ...

It turned out increased obesity risk in Labradors was linked to the same genes and mechanisms that cause obesity in humans. These gene variants were more common in purpose-bred dogs we carefully ...

Obesity genes that cause dogs to pile on the pounds have been identified, with the same genes associated with obesity in ...

A gene linked to obesity in Labradors is the same one found in humans, scientists say. The discovery could help researchers ...

Genetics play a key role in obesity by influencing metabolism, fat storage, and appetite regulation. Certain genes may ...

Researchers have discovered genes linked to obesity in both Labradors and humans. They say the effects can be over-ridden with a strict diet and exercise regime.
