| MSRA overexpression | Animals engineered to overexpress bovine MSRA in the nervous system have an extended median lifespan by up to 70% (relative to parental control), increased resistance to oxidative stress, and delayed the onset of senescence-induced decline in activity levels and reproductive capacity [11867705]. | Fly | — | +70 | — |
| Npy overexpression | Overexpression of Npy under the control of its own promoter results in increased mean and maximum lifespan. However the observed lifespan extension is relatively small (p = 0.0059 by Wilcoxin test and p = 0.05 by t-test; n = 20) [12668588].
The blood pressure of Npy transgenic rats was significantly lower as compared with nontransgenic siblings. Food intake and weight were not significantly different compared to controls [12668588]. | Rat | — | — | — |

| SOD1 overexpression | The overexpression of Sods, mitochondrial Sod2 and cytosolic CuZnSod (Sod1), in combination delays the age-dependent reversible inactivation of mitochondrial aconitase, a superoxide-sensitive enzyme, and extends chronological lifespan by 30% [12586694]. Overexpression of SOD1 with CCS1 levuates the level of Cn, Zn-Sod activity and increased chronological lifespan. However overexpression of SOD1 without high cooper or simultonous overexpression of CCS1 shortened both chronological and replicative lifespan [15659212]. Overexpression of SOD1 has no effect on replicative lifespan [10224252].

| Sod2 overexpression | Two-fold overexpression of Sod2 in young (4-6 months) and old (26-28 months) throughout the life results in decreased lipid peroxidation, increased resistance against paraquat-induced oxidative stress, and decreased age-related decline in mitochondrial ATP production, without any change on lifespan or age-related pathology [19633237]. | Mouse | — | — | — |

| Ubiquitinous SOD1 overexpression | Ubiquitous overexpression of SOD1 does not extend lifespan in mice. Homozygous transgenic mice with two- to five-fold overexpression of SOD1 in various tissues exhibit a light reduction in lifespan. Hemizygous transgenic mice, with 1.5- to 3-fold overexpression of SOD1 display no difference in lifespan compared with nontransgenic litermate controls [10719757]. Transgenic mice with a mutant SOD1 transgene develop neuronal cytoskeletal lesions resembling the human amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) phenotype [8610185]. Transgenic mice overexpressing SOD1 (and having 3.1-fold higher cellular Cu,Zn SOD activity in the brain) have reduced infarct size following experimental cerebral ischemia [1763030]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Heterozyogus Trp53 truncation mutation | Mice heterozyogous for an allele of p53 that removes the 5' portion of the protein demonstrate decreased cancer, permature aging phenotypes, and shortened lifespan in the mixed inbred C57BL/6â129/Sv background. It has been proposed that the this allele of p53 results in increased activity/overexpression [11780111]. | Mouse | — | — | — |

| Tert re-activation | Re-activation of telomerase in a model of premature aging caused by accelerated telomere shortening (duo to telomerase deficiency) was enough to revert some age-associated phenotypes [21113150].
Mice lacking telomerase age more rapedely and died earlier, as an abundance of critically short telomeres developed. Reawakening of Tert, leads to disappearment of age-related symptoms and rejuvenation occurred in several organs including their brains [http://www.isagenixhealth.net/blog/2012/05/16/telomerase-stimulation-extends-lifespan-in-mice/]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Dnmt gene therapy | Injecting a virus that contains extra copies of a Dnmt into elderly mice restored their faulty memories to it oiriganal capacity of young ones. Halving the amount of Dnmt produced by younger mice, deteriotes their memory to that of non-treated older mice [http://www.medicaldaily.com/news/20120702/10573/aging-memory-dna-enzyme-forgetfulness-young-old.htm]. | Mouse | — | — | — |

| ERG2 overexpression | Overexpression of ERG2 with the promoter of ERG6 (Perg6-ERG2) extends replicative lifespan and this effect was overlapping with moderate DR, because DR can not extend the lifespan of this mutant [Tang et al., unpublished]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
