    Ganodermasides C treatment Application of gonadermasides C significantly increases the replicative lifespan in the K6001 strain by regulating UTH1 [21512225]. Yeast
    Ganodermasides A treatment Application of Ganodermasides A extends the replicative lifespan in K6001 strain by regulating UTH1 expression [20093034]. Yeast
    Ganodermasides B treatment Application of Ganodermasides B extends the replicative lifespan in K6001 strain by regulating UTH1 expression [20093034]. Yeast
    Oligomycin treatment Oligomycin (a specific inhibitor of complex V) feeding exends lifespan on ad libitum and prevents an increase in longevity under DR (started in the adulthood) in males [19968629]. Fly
    Blueberry extract supplementation Supplementation of the diet with 5 mg/mL blueberry extract significantly extends the mean lifespan by 10% and is accompanied by an up-regulation of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and Rpn11 and down-regulationg of Methuselah (MTH). Lifespan is only extended in Oregon-R wild-type but not in SOD(n108) or Cat(n1) mutant strains [22197903]. Fly +10
    Apple polyphenol supplementation Supplemention of the diet with apple polyphenol significantly extends mean lifespan by 10% and is accompanied by up-regulation of SOD1, SOD2 and CAT as well as downregulation of MTH in aged animals [21319854]. Fly +10
    Black tea extract supplementation Supplementation of the diet with black tea extract extends the lifespan by 10% (from 51 to 56 days) and is associated with higher SOD1 and CAT expression [19770032]. Fly +10
    Beauveriolide I treatment Treatment with beauveriolide I (20 microgram/mL) extends chronological lifespan in BY4741 by around 50% [22790951]. Yeast +50
    Trehalose treatment Treatment with trehalose starting from the young-adult stage extends the mean lifespan by over 30% without any side effects. Trehalose treatment starting even from the old-adult stage shortly thereafter retards the age-associated decline in survivorship and extends the remaining lifespan by 60%. Lifespan extension by trehalose lowers the age-independent vulnerability. Trehalose increases reproductive span and retards the age-associated decrease in pharyngeal-pumping rate and the accumulation of lipofuscin autofluorescence as well as enhances thermotolerance and reduces polyglutamine. The lifespan extending effect of trehalose is abolished in daf-2 mutants [20477758]. Worm +30 to +60
    Trehalose treatment Treatment with trehalose reduces neurodegeneration in a transgenic mouse model of taupathy (human mutant P301S tau mouse. Neuronal survival is evaluated by trehalose. Trehalose induces autophagy in the brain, where the number of neurons containing tau inclusions is significantly reduced as well as the amount of insoluble tau protein and the protein levels of p62. However, trehalose fails to activate autophagy in the spinal cord, where it has no impact on the level of sarkosyl-insoluble tau. Trehalose has also no effect on the motor impairment of human mutant P301S tau transgenic mice [22689910]. Mouse
    Spermidine treatment Treatment with 0.2 mM spermidine extends mean and maximum lifespan of wild-type by 16 and 13% significantly (<0.005) as well as the mean and maximum lifespan in sir-2.1(ok434) by 12 and 11% significantly (<0.01). Worm +16 +13
    Cynomorium songaricum supplementation The yang-tonifying herbal medicine cynomorium songaricum Repr. (CS) supplementation to the diet extends both the mean and the maximum lifespan of adult females, but insignificantly that of males. In females, maximum lifespan (determined by the 90th survival percentile) is increased by up to 11.4% with 10 mg/mL CS and 5.7% with both 20 and 30 mg/mL Cs. Mean lifespan is significantly extended by 15, 18 and 11% upon treatment with 10, 20, and 30 mg/mL CS, respectively (all P <0.001). Increased lifespan by CS is correlated with higher resistance to oxidative stress and starvation and lower lipid hydroxyperoxids levels as well as accompanied by beneficial effects, such as improved mating readiness, increased fecundity, and suppresion of age-related learning impairment in aged animals [22844336].

    Mianserin Treatment Mianserin a serotonin receptor antagonist (used as antidepressant in humans), can increase C. elegans lifespan when given only during adulthood. Lifespan extension is reduced or abolished by mutations that affect serontonin synthesis or serotonin reuptakte at synapses [14,16]. It requires a serontonin receptor and an octopamine receptor which are both inhibited by Mianserin. Mianserin plus DR increase lifespan only by 4% more than DR alone and totally failed to extend lifepan in eat-2(ad1116) mutants. However, mianserin does not appear to reduce food intake [14]. On average, mianserin increases lifespan by 31% by an optimal dose of 50 micromolar, but had little or no effect when given at 250 micromolar. Mianserin failes to increase the lifepsna of mutants lacking serotonin synthesis enzyme TPH-1 and causes a lifespan increase of only 13% in mutant lacking serontin reuptake transporter MOD-5. Mianserin does not increase lifepan of SER-4 or SER-4 mutants. Mianserin increases lifespan by31% when given throughout adulthood, but it only result in 10% lifespan extension when it was gieven beginning at adult day 5. Mianserin also failed to increase lifespan in liquid lifespan assay and in animals grown on solid agarose plates lacking ill-defined component of commoly used agar plates (agar and Bacto peptone). Mianserin increases lifespan of animlas grown at 20 but not at 25 degree Celsius [19686215]. Worm
    Black rice extract supplementation In fruit fly, 30 mg/ml black rice extract prolonges mean lifespan by 14% which is accompanied with mRNA up-regulation of SOD1, SOD2, CAT and Rpn11 Rpn11 and with downregulation of Mth [22930061]. Fly +14
    Resveratrol supplementation Resveratrol significantly extends the lifespan [12939617]. Yeast
    Resveratrol supplementation Resveratrol supplementation prolongs the lifespan [15254550; 17460219], but not in any case [17875315]. Worm
    Resveratrol supplementation Supplementation with resveratrol extends the lifespan [15254550], but not in always [17875315]. Fly
    Resveratrol supplementation Resveratrol conteracts the detrimental effects of a high-fat diet in mice an decreases the risk of death by 30% and thereby reverting it to the level of normal diet. It also partially corrected a subset of the abnormal gene expression profile and insulin as well as glucose metabolism [17086191]. Although resveratrol has a range of beneficial effects in elderly mice, it does not increase the longevity of *ad libitum* fed mice when started midlife [18599363]. Even at high doses and when started in young adulthood reseveratrol supplementation does not increase lifespan on a normal diet [17578509; 20974732]. Mouse
    Melatonin supplementation Melatonin administrated with drinking water increases anti-oxidant capacity of the brain and prolongs the mean lifespan by 20% of males but not females [11462771]. Mouse 0 to +20
    N-acetyl-serotonin administration N-acetyl-serotonin (a melatonin precursor) administrated with drinking water increases anti-oxidant capacity of the brain and prolongs the mean lifespan by 20% of males but not females [11462771]. Mouse 0 to +20
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment with rapamcyin increases mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 19 and 16% Rapamycin fails to extend the lifespan of sir2 mutants or NAM treated wild-type cells [20947565]. Rapamcyin treatment increases mean chronological lifespan by by approximately by 80% in BY4742 [22790951]. Rapamycin extends chronological lifespan proportional with increasing concentrations from 100 pg/mL to 1 ng/mL [16418483] Yeast +19 to +50 +16
    DDS treatment Treatment with DDS either for the entire lifetime or only during the adult period after the L4 stage extends significantly increases mean and maximum lifespan [20974969] DDS causes the delay of aging, reduces lipofuscin accumulation and decreases the level of a mitochondrial complex as well as lowers oxygen consumption and enhances oxidative stress resistance [20974969]. DDS-conferred lifespan extension is independent of daf-16 and DR (eat-2 mutants) [20974969]. Worm
    concA treatment The specific V-ATPase inhibitor concanatmycin A (concA) blocks VMA1 or VPH2 overexpression mutations ability to produce normal, tubular mitochondria. Treatment of young cells causes vacuolar acidity and loss of mitochondrial depolarization. Loss of ΔΨ is followed by mitochondrial fragmentation and aggregation that resembles mitochondrial phenotypes present in aged cells [23172144]. Yeast
    Minocycline treatment Treatment with minocycline (0.87mM) prolongs mean, median and maximum lifespan of wild-type (Oregon strain) of both genders. In females mincocycline extend mean and maximum lifespan by 57 and 78%, respectively. In males minocycline results in a mean and maximum lifespan extension by 114 and 28%, respectively [23185716]. Fly +57.1 to +114.3 +28.1 to +78.3
    Rapamycin treatment Rapamcyin increases mouse lifespan and healthspan even when administrated late in life (20 months) [19587680]. Rapamycin enhances learning and memory in young mice and improves these faculties in old mice thereby negating the normal decline in these functions with age. Rapamycin boost levels of neurotransmitters associated with neural plasticity. Rapamycin also lowered anxiety and depressive-like behaviour at all ages from 4, 12 and 28 months. "Happy, feel-good" neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine are all significantly augmented in the midbrains of rapamycin treated mice [http://denigma.de/url/37]. Treatment with rapamycin increased lifespan and suppresses spontanous tumorgenesis in inbred female mice [22107964]. Mouse
