| 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 | — | — |

The mutants also exhibit increased storage of lipid and carbohydrate, reduced fecundity, and reduced tolerance of heat and cold [15708981]. The median and maximum lifespan of females is increased by 33.5% and 40%, respectively. In males the median and maximum lifespan is increased by 10.5% and 27%, respectively [15708981]. | Fly | — | +10.5 to +33.5 | +27 to +40 |

| bchs mutation | Loss of function mutation in bchs results in a 40-45% decrease in mean lifespan and is associated with age-related neurodegenerative phenotype with reduced CNS size and altered morphology as well as accumulation of insoluble ubiquinated proteins and amyloid precursor-like proteins along with an increase in neuronal apoptosis. No pronounced developmental defects were observed and young adults have normal behaviours, indicating that the bchs gene is essential for normal adult survival and longevity [12598614].
bchs mutation reduces mean lifespan by 28 - 54% and maximum lifespan by 24 - 46% [17435236]. | Fly | -28 to -54 | — | -24 to -46 |
| Bmcp knockout | Bmcp knockout flies live longer on low-calorie diets, have a decreased fertility, and gain less weight on high-calorie diets. Bmcp (ucp5) knockout mutants live longer than wild-type on low-calorie diets, but no longer on starvation or high-calorie diets. Ectopic neuronal expression of Bmcp transgene rescues starvation sensitive phenotype of Bmcp knockout mutants [16387864]. | Fly | — | — | — |
