| Akh knockdown | Knockdown of the adipokinetic hormone (Akh) by RNAi (with an RU486-inducible and ubiquitously expressing Actin 5C-GS Gal4 strain) does not by itself affect lifespan, but significantly inhibits the DR-dependent increase in lifespan across a range of yeast concentrations in both females and males. While control females and males exhibit a 113%/22% increase in lifespan under DR, upon Akh inhibition there was a significant reduction in lifespan extension with DR (52%/5%). Global Akh knockdown reduces starvation resistance by 24% upon DR, but no significant change upon AL. Also Akh RNAi repressed the DR-dependent increase in cold-stress resistance. Fat body and neuronal-specific inhibition of Akh by using RU486-inducible S(1)106-GS-Gal4 and Elav-GS-Gal4 enhancer traps, respectively, does not reduce lifespan extension upon DR. But, muscle-specific inhibition of Akh using RU486-inducible muscle enhancer trap (Mhc-GS-Gal4) reduces the DR-dependent increase in lifespan. While control exhibit a 47.2% lifespan extension, animals with muscle-specific Akh inhibition fails to result in any increase upon DR (i.e. completely blocked the DR lifespan extension). Muscle-specific Akh inhibition diminishes the increase in triglyceride synthesis and breakdown present normally under DR. A significant reduction in lifespan extension also occurs with a noninducible muscle driver (Mhc-Gal4). Controls on DR exhibit significant higher levels of spontaneous activity compared to Akh RNAi-inhibited animals at all ages. Akh inhibition reduces the protective effect of DR on age-related decline in muscle function/activity [22768842]. | Fly | — | — | — |

| CG7834 knockdown | Muscle specific RNAi knockdown of CG7834 which reduces its mRNA levels by 25-35%, significantly reduces the DR-dependent lifespan extension. CG7834 RNAi animals exhibit only a 14% increase compared to the 55% lifespan-increase in controls upon DR [22768842]. | Fly | — | — | — |
| 14-3-3epsilon mutation | 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]. | Fly | +25 to +49 | — | — |

| dys knockout | 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. 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]. | Fly | — | — | -13 |
