    Ghrhr knockout Homozygosity for the Ghrhr(lit) knockout mutation (called little mouse) lowers plasma growth hormone levels, impairs growth and increases lonegevity about 20% [11371619]. Lit homozygous animals are smaller than normal mice [1270792] and their pituitary is defective in growth hormone and prolactin [978118]. Mouse +20
    Pou1f1 knockout Snell dwarf mutation (Pit1dw) due to knockout of Pou1f1 results in a dramatic lifespan extension. The mean, median and maximum lifespan is increased by 40-50% for Snell dwarf (Pit1dw/Pit1dw) DW/J females, and 25-50% for dwarf DWC3F1 males and females with a compound heterozygous Pit1dw/Pit1dw-J genotype. Although, Snell dwarf (Pit1dw/Pit1dw) DW/J males exhibit aspects of delayed senescence, their median lifespan is by about 25% shorter, probably due to the affects of housing conditions [11718806]. Mice homozygous for loss-of-function mutations at Pit1 locus have a mean and maximum lifespan extension over 40%. Mutant dwJ/dw animals exhibit delays in age-dependent collagen cross-linking and in six age-senstive indices of immune system status. Pituitary transplantation into dwarf mice does not reverse the lifespan extension effect. Male Snell dwarf mice become obese and exhibit proportionately high leptin levels in old age [11371619].

    Homozygous Shc1 knockout Homozygous Shc1 knockout mice have an 28% increase in mean lifespan [10580504]. p66shc-/- cells are more resistant to apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide and UV light. p66shc-/- mice aremore restante to oxidative stress induced by paraquat [10580504]. Mouse +28
    Prop1 knockout Knockouts of Prop1 are dwarf (hence called the Ames dwarf mice) but live approximately 1 year longer than controls. Mean lifespan of males and females is extended by 49 and 68%, respectively Ames dwarf mice are small due to retarded post-natal growth and have primary pituitary deficiency consisting of the absence of, or extreme reduction in, anterior pituitary cells which produces growth hormone, prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone, and consequently a deficiency in these hormones. Levels of IGF1 is also extreme low in Ames dwarf mice [8900272]. Mouse +49 to +68
    Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout mice have an 7% increase in mean lifespan [10580504]. Mouse +7
    Trp63 knockout Heterozygous Trp632 mutant mice have a shortened lifespan (by 21.5%) and display features of accelerated aging [16107615]. The decreased longevity in Trp63(+/-) mice is almost identical to that of Trp53(+/m) mice in which enhanced Trp53 activity provides resistance to spontaneous tumors while simultaneously accelerating aging [16107615]. Trp63(+/-) are not susceptible to spontaneous tumors [16107615]. Mouse -21.5
    Msra knockout Msra homozygous knockouts exhibit a 40% shorter lifespan than wild-type or heterozygotes (C57BL/6J). Msra -/- mice have enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress, accumulatehigher levels of protein cabronyls, and demonstrate and atypical walking pattern [11606777]. Mouse -40
    Drd4 knockout Drd4 knockout mice, when compared with wild-type and heterozygous mice, display a 7 - 9.7% decrease in lifespan, reduced spontaneous locomotor activity, and no lifespan increase when reared in an enriched environment [23283341]. Mouse -7 to -9.7
    Top3b knockout Homozygous disruption of Top3b results in a normal development but a shorter lifespan (by approximately 70%) accompanied by lesions in multiple organs in C57BL/6 [11331780]. Mouse -70
