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.

Each of the top five genes that increased the risk of weight gain in labradors were also implicated in human obesity. Such crossover is not astonishing; both dogs and humans evolved to deal with ...

A Stanford Medicine study taps artificial intelligence to find a naturally occurring molecule called a peptide that ...

Following the New Year, just about everyone on the internet—qualified and not—starts offering up dieting advice like clockwork. And for every well-balanced and sustainable plan you see, you ...

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.
