    Heterozyogous fat-specific Insr knockout (FIRKO) Deletion of Insr specifically in adipose tissue results in a 15-18% increase in mean, median and maximum lifespan. Fat-specific insulin-receptor knockout (FIRKO) reduces fat mass and protects against age-related obesity and its subsequent metabolic abnormality, without an decrease in food intake. Both male and female FIRKO mice have an increase in mean lifespan of around 134 days (18%), with parallel increases in median and maximum lifespan. FIRKO mice consume the same amount of food on per animal basis as control littermates, but have 15-25% lower body-mass and 50-70% reduced fat mass [12543978]. Disruption of Insr in all tissues reults in neonatal lethality [8612577]. Mouse +15 to +18 +15 to +18 +15 to +18
    Igf1r knockout Homozygous null mutation of Igf1r is lethal at birth [8402901]. Mice heterozygous for IGF1R live 26% longer. Female Igf1r(+/-) mice have 33% longer mean lifespan, whereas male mice exhibit an increase in mean lifespan of 16% (not statistically significant). Long-lived Igf1r+/- mice do not develop dwarfism, have normal energy metabolism, food and water intake, unaffected nutrient uptake, physical activity, glucose regulation, serum insulin and glucose, fertility and reproduction [12483226]. Heterozygous Igf1r mutants are more resistant to paraquat and mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from them are more resistant to hydrogen peroxide [8402901]. Mouse +16 to 33
    Ghrhr knockout Homozygosity for the Ghrhr(lit) knockout mutation (called little mouse) lowers plasma growth hormone levels, impairs growth and increases lonegevity about 20% [11371619]. Lit homozygous animals are smaller than normal mice [1270792] and their pituitary is defective in growth hormone and prolactin [978118]. Mouse +20
    Pou1f1 knockout Snell dwarf mutation (Pit1dw) due to knockout of Pou1f1 results in a dramatic lifespan extension. The mean, median and maximum lifespan is increased by 40-50% for Snell dwarf (Pit1dw/Pit1dw) DW/J females, and 25-50% for dwarf DWC3F1 males and females with a compound heterozygous Pit1dw/Pit1dw-J genotype. Although, Snell dwarf (Pit1dw/Pit1dw) DW/J males exhibit aspects of delayed senescence, their median lifespan is by about 25% shorter, probably due to the affects of housing conditions [11718806]. Mice homozygous for loss-of-function mutations at Pit1 locus have a mean and maximum lifespan extension over 40%. Mutant dwJ/dw animals exhibit delays in age-dependent collagen cross-linking and in six age-senstive indices of immune system status. Pituitary transplantation into dwarf mice does not reverse the lifespan extension effect. Male Snell dwarf mice become obese and exhibit proportionately high leptin levels in old age [11371619].

    Prop1 knockout Knockouts of Prop1 are dwarf (hence called the Ames dwarf mice) but live approximately 1 year longer than controls. Mean lifespan of males and females is extended by 49 and 68%, respectively Ames dwarf mice are small due to retarded post-natal growth and have primary pituitary deficiency consisting of the absence of, or extreme reduction in, anterior pituitary cells which produces growth hormone, prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone, and consequently a deficiency in these hormones. Levels of IGF1 is also extreme low in Ames dwarf mice [8900272]. Mouse +49 to +68
    Cisd2 knockout Cisd2 knockout shortens lifespan resulting in premature aging [19451219]. Mouse
    Prkar2b knockout Loss of function of Prkar2b results in mice that are lean and insulin sensitive. Both median and maximum lifespan is increased by 14%. Median lifespan is increasesd (from 884 to 1005) and 80% lifespan increased from 941 to 1073 days. There is no difference either in median or 80% lifespan in female genotypes [19536287]. Mouse +0 to +14 +0 to +14
    Adcy5 knockout Adcy5 knockout mice are to cardiac stress and have an increased median lifespan of 30% as well as an increased maximal lifespan of 12%. Further, they are also protected from age-related reduced bone density and susceptibility to fractures, and reduced cardiac function [17662940]. Mouse +30 +12
    HNRNPD deletion HNRNPD deletion leads to accelerated aging as evidenced by strinking telomere erosion, markedly increased DNA damage repsosne at telomere ends, pronounced cellular senescence and rapid premature aging that increases with successive generations [Pont et al., 2012]. Mouse
