I agree with the House Budget Committee that our government's $36-trillion debt is a problem. But who should sacrifice to ...

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

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

A study from the University of Cambridge has uncovered a genetic link between Labrador retrievers and humans that sheds new ...

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

Scientists have pinpointed and described unusual subtypes of fat cells that may help scientists explain why gut fat is linked ...

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

Pippa flops by the Aga oven chewing on a stick. At just 12 weeks old, this Labrador retriever puppy looks cute but clueless.

40-60% of pet dogs are overweight or obese, similar to human obesity rates. Labradors with the DENND1B gene had 8% more body fat than those without it. US obesity rates exceed 42%, according to ...

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

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.

An additional four genes associated with canine obesity, but which exert a smaller effect than DENND1B, were also mapped directly onto human genes. "These genes are not immediately obvious targets ...
