| GstS1 | Glutathione S transferase S1 | GstS1 overexpression increases the mean lifespan by 33% [18059160]. | Fruit fly |
| Gr63a | Gustatory receptor 63a | Gr63a loss-of-function in female flies leads to 30% extended mean lifespan, increased fat deposition, and enhanced resistance to some (but not all) environmental stresses. Lifespan of males is not extended [20422037].
Overexpression of Gr63a has modest negative effect on lifespan [20422037]. | Fruit fly |
| fh | frataxin homolog | Overexpression of fh in the mitochondria of female transgenic animals increases antioxidant capability, resistance to oxidative stress insults, and longevity [18258192]. | Fruit fly |
| esc | extra sexcombs | Males heterozygous for the null esc4 or the dominant negative esc9 mutation that are progeny of an out-cross to a O-R wild-type strain have median lifespan that is, respectively, 47% and 60% longer than the O-R control. When derived from an out-cross to a longer-lived C-S wild-type strain, heterozygous esc9 flies have a median lifespan that is 43% longer than the C-S control [20018689]. | Fruit fly |
| elav | embryonic lethal abnormal vision | elav mutation significantly decreases the lifespan. Median lifespan in males is 66% lower [20589912]. | Fruit fly |
| Edem1 | — | The mean lifespan of Edem1 mutants of both male and female is increased by more than 30% [19302370]. | Fruit fly |
| E(z) | Enhancer of zeste | Flies heterozygous for the protein null E(z)63 or the catalytically inactive E(z)731 mutation that are progeny of an out-cross to an Oregon-R (O-R) wild-type strain exhibit a substantially greater median lifespan than the O-R control (71% and 76%, respectively). When derived from an out-cross to a longer-lived Canton-S (C-S) wild-type strain, the median lifespan of E(z)63 heterozygous is 33% longer than the C-S control [20018689]. | Fruit fly |
| Dys | Dystroglycan | Loss of dys function in the heart leads to an age-dependent disruption of the myofibrillar organization within the myocardium as well as to alterations in cardiac performance. dys RNAi-mediated knockdown in the mesoderm also shortens lifespan. Mesodermal dys knockout results in a morderate maximum lifespan reduction (13%), but not when exclusively targeted to the heart. In contrast, half of the transheteozygous DysExel618/Dyskx43 deficiency flies die at 29 days compared to 63 days in controls. This indicates that a moderate dye loss-of-function in all muscles, but not in just the heart, reduces the normal lifespan [18221418]. | Fruit fly |
| DNApol-gamma35 | DNA polymerase gamma 35kD | Overexpression of DNApol-gamma35 (DNA polymerase gamma) in the nervous system results in a decrease in the median lifespan ranging from 39% to 52% [17999718].

| CG9172 | — | RNAi against CG9172 increases mean lifespan in females by up to 4-12% when applied in both development and adulthood, and up to 46% when applied in adult neurons only. For males the effect is variable [19747824]. | Fruit fly |
| CG18809 | — | RNAi of CG18809 results in a 7-19% increase in mean lifespan of females, while neural RNAi results in an increased mean lifespan of up to 12% in females. For males the results are variable [19747824]. | Fruit fly |
| CG17856 | — | RNAi of CG17856 results in an increase in mean lifespan of 13-18% in females. In the case of males and post-developmental experiments the results are variable [19747824]. | Fruit fly |
| bsk | basket | RNA interference of bsk in intestinal stem cells, results in short lived mutants with impaired intestinal homeostasis and tissue regeneration. The mean lifespan of males is 16.4% lower and those of female is reduced by 10.2% [20976250]. | Fruit fly |
| bam | bag of marbles | Bam mutants have an extended lifespan due to germ cell loss. Lifespan of females is on average up to 50% higher and that of males on average s up to 27.8% higher [18434551]. | Fruit fly |
| Aut1 | — | Aut1 depletion form the first day of imaginal stage shortens lifespan by 28% on average in Drosophila and causes morphological behavioural features of premature aging [18219227]. | Fruit fly |
| Atg2 | Autophagy-specific gene 2 | Atg2 overexpression increases average female lifespan by 28% [18059160]. | Fruit fly |
| alpha-Man-I | alpha Mannosidase I | alpha-Man-I mutant fly exhibit enhanced resistance to paraquat and starvation an a 60% increase in mean lifespan for both sexes. After outcrossing, the mutant exhibit, under normal conditions, an increase in mean lifespan of 22% for females and 38% for males. Maximum lifespan is increased by 15%. alpha-Man-I RNAi knockdown results in a 39% increase in mean lifespan [19302370]. | Fruit fly |
| Akt1 | CG4006 gene product from transcript CG4006-RA | RNA interference of Akt1 in intestinal stem cells, results in impaired regeneration of the intestinal epithelium and a short lifespan. In males and females on mean lifespan is 11.4% and 7.4% lower [20976250]. | Fruit fly |
| 14-3-3epsilon | CG31196 gene product from transcript CG31196-RA | Loss of 14-3-3ε results in increased stress-induced apoptosis, growth repression and extended lifespan of flies, in a foxo-dependent manner. Mean lifespan of males and females is increased by 25% and 49%, respectively. Increased 14-3-3ε expression also reverts foxo-induced growth defects. No effect of lifespan is observed when overexpressing 14-3-3ε in adipose tissue, indicating that endogenous foxo activity in this tissue is low under normal conditions [18665908]. | Fruit fly |
| Jafrac1 | thioredoxin peroxidase 1 | Neuronal overexpression of Jafrac1 significantly increases both mean and maximum lifespan, while neuronal knockdown as well as loss of function mutation, causes a reduction in lifespan by 30%. The mean lifespan is 26% and 29% higher in females and males, respectively. The maximum lifespan is increased by 22% and 26% in females and males, respectively [19720829].
There is a consistent and significant lifespan extension (15% mean lifespan increase) in both males and females when Jafrac1 is overexpressed in somatic cells. Jafrac1 overexpression using the weaker 5961FS driver moderately but significantly extends lifespan [20976250]. | Fruit fly |
| — | (R)-N-(2-heptyl)-N-methylpropargylamine | Addition of 0.66 ng/fly/day (R)-N-(2-heptyl)-N-methylpropargylamine to a sucrose-based diet resulted in no significant effect on lifespan, but lifespan reduction due to galactose feeding is partially suppressed by supplementation with (R)-deprnyl or (R)-N-(2-heptyl)-N-methylpropargylamine [9972869]. | Fruit fly |
| tim | timeless | TIMELESS (TIM) oscillation are attenuated in the cerebral clock neurons of elderly flies [23223368].
Tim01 mutants have nearly a 50% reduced fecundity [14667147]. | Fruit fly |
| Pdf | Pigment-dispersing factor | Pdf declines with aging. Age-dependent Pdf decline is responsible for the circadian rhythm attenuation [23223368].
Overexpression of Pdf suppresses age-associated changes in the period and strength of free-running locomotor rhythms and amplifies TIM oscillations in many pacemaker neurons in the elder flies [23223368].
Age-associated reduction of Pdf may cause attenuation of intercellular communication in the circadian neuronal network and of TIM cycling, which may result in the age-related rhythm decay [23223368].

| Oo | Olive oil | In rats oral treatment with Olive oil (at the age of 10 month for 7 months) increases mean, median and maximum lifespan by 41, 18 and 53%, respectively. Olive oil extends the lifespan with a probability of 0.99 [22498298].
In humans olive oil has positive effects on health and counteracts aging [11905662]. Its effect is suggested to be a function of the dose [19369055]. | Fruit fly |
| mir-14 | mir-14 stem loop | Mutating mir-14 decreases lifespan in both sexes. mir-14 reduces the mean and maximum lifespan of females by 55 and 36%, respectively, while those of males is reduced by 29 and 21%, respectively [12725740].
