| Akh overexpression | Overexpression of Akh in a ubiquitousness manner enhances fat metabolism (significant increase in triglyceride synthesis and breakdown under AL), spontaneous activity (148% on AL and 154% on DR), and lifespan on AL (33%). However, despite and increase in movement under DR, lifespan is not increased under a restricted diet [22768842]. | Fly | — | +33 | — |

It increases mean lifespan by 49% in males and 68% in females and maximum lifespan by 38% in males and 52% in females. It also improved reproductive fitness [17369827]. | Fly | +49 to +68 | — | +38 to +52 |

| 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 | — | — | — |
| Cct1 overexpression | Overexpression of Cct1 from a doxycycline-inducible promoter results in a 6 - 8% increase in mean lifespan (in the PdL x rtTA; Oregon-R x rtTA strain) [12620118]. | Fly | +6 to +8 | — | — |

| CG13890 overexpression | Overexpression of CG13890 (DCI) throughout the whole body increases mean and median lifespan by 35 and 31%, but decreases maximum lifespan by 6%, increases stress resistant (to paraquat and starvation), consistently reduces the mortality rate across adult ages and reduces the lifespan extension of DR by 15% [22997544].
CG6783 overexpression increases the dFOXO nuclear localization in the fat-body. mRNA levels of dFOXO target genes l(2)efl and 4E-BP in the adult whole bodies increases in response to overexpression of CG6783 [22997544]. | Fly | +35 | +31 | +6 |
| fabp overexpression | Overexpression of fabp (CG6783) throughout the whole body increases mean, median and maximum lifespan by 77, 81 and 13%, increases stress resistant (to paraquat but not starvation), consistently reduces mortality rate across adult ages and reduces the lifespan extension of DR by 12% [22997544].
fabp overexpression increases the dFOXO nuclear localization in the fat-body. mRNA levels of dFOXO target genes l(2)efl and 4E-BP in the adult whole bodies increases in response to overexpression of fabp [22997544].
Females of the genotype Act-GS-Gal4 > UAS-CG6783 exhibit an increase in median lifespan compared to uninduced control in response to feeding with RU486-containing food from day 3 of adulthood (P < 0.0001). Mean lifespan is extended by 10, while maximum lifespan is decreased by 11% [22997544]. | Fly | +77 | +81 | +13 |
| gig overexpression | Overexpression of gig, also known as dTsc2, results in lifespan extension. Overexpression of dTsc2 increases mean lifespan by 20% and 12%, at 25°C and 29°C, respectively, and protects from deleterious effects of rich food, as if mimicking the effect of DR [15186745].
Overexpression of dTsc2 via a UAS promoter in the eye using the driver gmr-GAL4 or in the nervous system by using appI-GAL4 does not extend the lifespan. Using the drivers 24BGAL4 and PO188-GAL4, enhancer traps that are predominantly expressed in the muscle and fat results in mean lifespan extension of 27% and 37%, respectively, at 29°C [15186745]. Fat-specific drivers DJ634-GAL4 and PO163-GAL4 when used to overexpress dTsc2, also led to a mean lifespan extension of 22% and 31%, respectively, at 29°C [15186745]. | Fly | +20 to +31 | — | — |

| Neural-specific POSH overexpression | Neural-specific overexpression of POSH extends the mean lifespan of adult flies by 14% at 25°C. Ectopic expression of POSH during development results in morphological abnormalities [11868902]. | Fly | +14 | — | — |
| 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 | — |
| foxo overexpression | foxo overexpression extends lifespan. Activation of foxo in the adult pericerbral fat body is sufficient for lifespan extension [15175753]. Overexpression of foxo in the adult adipose tissue alone prolongs lifespan [15192154; 15175753]. Limited activation of foxo reduces the expression of Drosophila insulin-like peptide dilp-2 synthesized in neurons and, represses endogenous insulin-dependent signaling in peripheral fat body [15175753]. foxo overexpression in adult fat body under normal nutritional conditions leads to extension of lifespan of females and causes a right shift of the response curve of lifespan to DR [18241326].
Overexpression of dFOXO in adult fat body increases median, by 21-33%, and maximum lifespan as well as lowers the age-specific mortality at all ages, in two independent experiments. Overexpression of dFOXO increases lifespan by lowering the whole mortality trajectory, with no effect on slope (similar to DR). Initiation of dFOXO expression at different ages increases subsequent lifespan with the magnitude of increase decreasing as the animals were put on RU486 (which activates the foxo transgene via UAS) at older ages. The effects of removal of dFOXO overexpression at different ages closely mirrored those of induction of expression and produce shortest lifespan observed in animals taken of RU486 at the earlier ages [17465980]. | Fly | — | +21 to +33 | — |

| Hsp68 overexpression | Overexpression of Hsp68 extends modestly (by around 15%) median and maximum lifespan [14602080].
There is a consistent and significant lifespan extension by 20% in both males and females when hsp68 is overexpressed in somatic cells. hp68 overexpression using GMR-Gal4, and eye-specific driver that expresses Gal4 in salivary glands has no effects.Hsp78 overexpression using the weaker 5961FS driver moderately but significantly extends lifespan [20976250]. | Fly | +20 | +15 | +15 |

| Eip71CD overexpression | Overexpression of Eip71CD (alias MsrA) in nervous system extends the lifespan by up to 70%, increases resistance to oxidative stress, and delays the onset of senescence-induced decline in activity levels and reproductive capacity. Eip71CD is a downstream effector of foxo [22310715].
Mean and maximum lifespan is increased by up to 2-% in animals that overexpress Eip71CD [20655917]. | Fly | +20 to 70 | — | +20 |

| 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 | — | — |
| 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 |
