| DDS treatment | Treatment with DDS either for the entire lifetime or only during the adult period after the L4 stage extends significantly increases mean and maximum lifespan [20974969]
DDS causes the delay of aging, reduces lipofuscin accumulation and decreases the level of a mitochondrial complex as well as lowers oxygen consumption and enhances oxidative stress resistance [20974969].
DDS-conferred lifespan extension is independent of daf-16 and DR (eat-2 mutants) [20974969].

| NAC treatment | Treatment with 10 mM of NAC has no effect on the lifespan of wild-type, but fully abolishes the increased longevity of nuo-6 and severly limits that of isp-1. At high concentration (> 10-15 nM) NAC can be become deleteroius even on the wild-type [21151885]. | Worm | — | — | — |
| Vitamin C treatment | Treatment with 1 mM vitamin C has no effect on lifespan of wild-type, but significantly shortens the lifespan of both isp-1 and muo-6 mutants [21151885].
Supplementation with vitamin C normalizes the median lifespan of wnr-1 and mir-124 mutants, which both exhibit premature aging [23075628]. | Worm | — | — | — |
| DMSO treatment | Treatment with 0.5 and 2% DMSO increases lifespan by 24.4 and 23.0%, respectively. 0.5% DMSO does not affect progeny number or lifespan under thermal stress. Treatment with 0.5% DMSO enhances the mRNA levels of hsp-16.2, hsp-70, lys-7, old-1, and sod-5 by 2.5, 2.9, 1.3, 2.3, and 4.5-fold, respectively, as well as the protein level of lys-7 by 1.5-fold. Lifespan extension confered by DMSO depends on sir-2.1 and daf-16 but not on eat-2 or hsf-1 [20828537]. | Worm | +23.0 to +24.4 | — | — |

| SNCA overexpression | Transgenic lines overexpressing either human wild-type or mutant (A53T) forms of the SNCA (alpha-synclein) gene under a pan-neuronal promoter live on average about 25% longer, even in weak (m577) and strong (e1370) daf-2 mutant backgrounds, and exhibited decreased pharyngeal pumping and egg-laying. Wild-type SNCA crossed into eat-2(ad1113) does not significantly effect lifespan compared to that of the background strain. Pumping rate in wild-type SCNA and A53T SCNA overexpression mutants were less than control already at day 1 of adulthood. The attenuation of lifespan exptesion by SNCA overexpression by growing on thick bacterial lawns, suggests that DR may explain some fo the effects on lifespan. SCNA overexpression increases average lifespan by 21.3% (wild-type) and 16.3% (A53T) [16782295]. | Worm | +26 to +34 | — | +19 to +31 |
