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].
Mean: +20
