A Deletion in the Canine POMC Gene Is Associated with Weight and Appetite in Obesity-Prone Labrador Retriever Dogs

@bealelab @FlossieTeacake Absolutely! Labradors are lovely too, but have appetite issues owing to a deletion in the POMC gene... https://t.co/ugaMsv51pq

i've spent wayy too much time (instead of studying) thinking about how some labradors are genetically prone to be obese and they can't stop eating when food is put in front of them https://t.co/ZC1BFlyKyB

@tednaiman Every feline is different. Every canine is different, too. https://t.co/asNmDTo7Up Every human.... I think you get the gist!

@MorganPfiffner @whsource May also be confounded by the fact that this breed in particular is vry prone to appetite & satiety issues genetically? I've had several breeds of dogs; some self-regulate very well (ie leave food in the bowl) others can eat t
