This insatiable appetite is a quirk of the Labrador breed, encoded in their genes. It’s one of the reasons why labs are ...

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. Researchers studying British Labrador ...

A new study from the University of Cambridge found that Labradors and humans share a key gene linked to obesity. The DENND1B gene influences hunger signals in the brain, making those with the variant ...

Researchers studying a population of pet British Labrador retrievers have identified multiple genes associated with canine obesity and show that these genes are also associated with obesity in humans.

Dogs carrying the genetic variant most associated with obesity, DENND1B, had around 8% more body fat than those without it. Researchers studying British Labrador retrievers have identified multiple ...
