| Thor overexpression | Ubiquitously overexpression of wild-type Thor (alias d4E-BP) causes no change under AL, but an activated allele (with more than 3-fold increased binding activity to delF4E) significantly extends lifespan of females (weak allele) and females as well as males (strong allele). Mean lifespan is extended by 11 to 40%. Median lifespan of males and females is enhanced by by 11 and 22%, respectively. Maximum lifespan is extended by 16 and 18% for males and females, respectively. Under DR (0.25% YE) there is no lifespan extension, beyond the effect of DR alone, in all (wild-type, weak and strong) Thor alleles [19804760].
Lifespan of animals with increased Pten and 4E-BP activity in muscle exhibit and extended mean and maximum lifespan by 20% and 15.8% [21111239]. | Fly | +11 to +40 | +11 to +22 | +16 to +18 |
| Tsc1 overexpression | Ubiquitously overexpression of UAS constructs (via the daughterless (da)-GAL-4 driver) containing dTSC1 extends mean lifespan at 29°C by 14% [15186745]. | Fly | +14 | — | — |
| Dominant-negative S6k | Ubiquitous overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k (alias dS6K) increases mean lifespan by 22%. Overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k protects mutants from deleterious effects of rich food, as if mimicking the effect of DR [15186745]. | Fly | +22 | — | — |
| Cbs overexpression | Ubiquitous or neuron-specific transgenic overexpression of Cbs enhances longevity in fully-fed animals.
Adult-specific ubiquitous expression of Cbs is sufficient to increase female mean and maximum lifespan by 12 - 43% and 10%, respectively. Males, whose lifespan is relatively less affected by DR, exhibite a smaller, but still significant increase in lifespan by 7% upon Cbs overexpression. Neuronal overexpression also increases lifespan, albeit modestly (approximately 12% mean and 15% maximum lifespan extension), whereas overexpression in the fat body and in the gut has no effect [21930912]. | Fly | +12 to +43 | — | +10 to +15 |
| Spargel overexpression | Tissue-specific overexpression of dPGC-1 in stem and progenitor cells within the digestive tract of females flies extends the median and maximum lifespan of females by up to 33% and 37%. Those mutants display a delay in the onset of aging-related changes in the intestine, leading to improved tissue homoeostasis in old flies [22055505]. | Fly | — | +33 | +37 |
| Cat overexpression | Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod1 results in a one-third (i.e. 30%) lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. Targeted overexpression of CAT in the mitochondrial matrix has no effect on lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, slightly shortens lifespan at 29 degree Celsius as is associated with increased resistance to endogenous hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, and cold stress [12521602]. | Fly | — | — | — |
| Sod overexpression | Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod (alias Sod1) results in a one-third lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. General overexpression of Sod (also known as Cu/ZnSOD) alone is sufficient to extend lifespan by up to 48%. Simultaneous overexpression of catalase with Cu/ZnSOD has no added benefit, presumably due to a pre-existing excess of catalase [9858546]. | Fly | +38 | — | — |

| to overexpression | Overexpression of to adult neurons, pericerbral or abdonimal fat body increases male and female lifespan. to overexpression in the adult nervous system, head fat body and abdominal fat body results in 25, 20 and 12-18% increase of mean lifespan. on average the mean lifesapn is extended for males and females by 18 and 26%, while maximum lifespan of male and female is increased by 13 and 25% [20519778]. | Fly | +12 to +26 | — | +13 to +25 |
| Hsp70 locus overexpression | Overexpression of the Hsp70 locus (containing Hsp70Bb and Hsp70Bc) in transgenic flies extends lifespan as much as 7.9% [9363888]. | Fly | +7.9 | — | — |

| Sod2 overexpression | Overexpression of Sod2 by 5-115% decreases lifespan by 4-5% without any compensatory changes in metablic rate, level of physical activity, or the levels of other antioxidants (Sod, Cat, and glutathione) [10545213]. Targeted overexpression of Sod2 in motor neurons alone extends lifespan by 30% [11113599]. Induced overexpression of Sod2 in adult animals extends lifespan up to 37% [12072463]. Overexpression of catalase in combination with SOD2 has no added benefit for lifespan [12072463]. Animals overexpressing SOD2 or catalase do not exhibit a decrease in metabolism as measured by oxgen consumption [12072463].
Sod2 overexpression results in a 20% increase in mean and maximum lifespan [18067683]. | Fly | +20 to +37 | — | +20 |

| Sir2 overexpression | Overexpression of Sir2 (alias dSir2) extends lifespan by up to 57% and specifically median lifespan by 40-60%. Ubiquitous Sir2 overexpression causes a 4-fold increase in Sir2 mRNA expression and an up to 57% increase in average lifespan (29% for females and 18% for males). A 10 - 20% increase in Sir2 mRNA levels causes no lifespan extension. Neuronal Sir2 overexpression extends average lifespan by 52% in females and 20% in males. Motor-neuronal specific expression fails to cause lifespan extension. DR fails to cause further increase in lifespan or even reduces lifespan toward normal of dSir2 overexpression mutants [15520384]. Mild Sir2 overexpression in the fat-body extends lifespan and reduces relative body fat content in both males and females [22661237].
A diet-dependent lifespan phenotype of dSir2 overexpression in the fat-body, but not in muscles, negates the effects of background genetic mutants [23246004]. | Fly | +18 to + 57 | +4- to +60 | — |
