Researchers in the UK have identified variants, or “versions,” of genes associated with obesity in British Labrador Retrievers.
The bad news is that they found variants of the same gene, also linked to excessive weight gain, in humans.
Both Labradors and people with the offending variants can prevent weight gain by following a strict diet and workout routine.
