    Wortmannin treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with 0.5 micromolar wortmannin increases median (by 5%) and maximum (by 39%) lifespan in males (p < 0.001), but the lifespan differences in females were statistical insignificant (p > 0.05) [22661237]. Low dose of wortmannin (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +5 +39
    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
    Tyrosol treatment Treatment with tyrosol (250 microMolar) extends mean, median, and maximum, lifespan by 21, 21, and 11% [22824366]. Worm +21 +21 +11
    Trichostatin A supplementation Histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) extends the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster by promoting the hsp22 gene transcription, and affecting the chromatin morphology at the locus of hsp22 gene along the polytene chromosome [15346199]. hsp70 and hsp22 RNA levels are higher in long-lived than in short-lived fly lines. The HDAC inhibitor TSA causes a higher expression of hsp22 and hsp70, and strikingly influences the lifespan in both long and short-lived lines, with variable degrees (up to 25%) [15695762]. Fly +25
    Trehalose treatment Treatment with trehalose starting from the young-adult stage extends the mean lifespan by over 30% without any side effects. Trehalose treatment starting even from the old-adult stage shortly thereafter retards the age-associated decline in survivorship and extends the remaining lifespan by 60%. Lifespan extension by trehalose lowers the age-independent vulnerability. Trehalose increases reproductive span and retards the age-associated decrease in pharyngeal-pumping rate and the accumulation of lipofuscin autofluorescence as well as enhances thermotolerance and reduces polyglutamine. The lifespan extending effect of trehalose is abolished in daf-2 mutants [20477758]. Worm +30 to +60
    Trehalose treatment Treatment with trehalose reduces neurodegeneration in a transgenic mouse model of taupathy (human mutant P301S tau mouse. Neuronal survival is evaluated by trehalose. Trehalose induces autophagy in the brain, where the number of neurons containing tau inclusions is significantly reduced as well as the amount of insoluble tau protein and the protein levels of p62. However, trehalose fails to activate autophagy in the spinal cord, where it has no impact on the level of sarkosyl-insoluble tau. Trehalose has also no effect on the motor impairment of human mutant P301S tau transgenic mice [22689910]. Mouse
    THC treatment Tetrahydocurcumin extends the lifespan and reduces oxidative stress in male and female fruit flies. THC extends lifespan of Drosophila and inhibits the oxidative stress response by regulating *FOXO* and *Sir2* [22156377]. Fly
    THC treatment In male mice supplementation with tetrahydrocurcumin beginning at the age of 13 month increases the mean lifespan by an average of 84 days, i.e. an increase of 11.7% [17516143]. Mouse +11.7
    Spermidine treatment Treatment with 0.2 mM spermidine extends mean and maximum lifespan of wild-type by 16 and 13% significantly (<0.005) as well as the mean and maximum lifespan in sir-2.1(ok434) by 12 and 11% significantly (<0.01). Worm +16 +13
    Simvastin treatment Treatment with simvastin significantly increases the mean and maximum lifespan and enhances cardiac function in aging animals by significantly reducing heart arrhythmias and increasing the contraction proportion o the contraction/relaxation cycle [22737247]. Fly
    Rhodiola rosea treatment Plant adaptogen Rhodiola rosea (SHE-5) increase stress resistance and mean lifespan in a dose-dependent manner. 10-25 microgram/ml SHE-5 signinifanclty increases lifespan between 10 and 20% 9 (P < 0.001), increase maximum lifepsan with 2-3 days and pospones the moment when the first individuals die. With higher concentrations, the effect is weaker whereas at the highest concentrations (250 microgram/mL) a lifespan shortenening effect of 15-25% (P < 0.001) occurs. Treatment with SHE-5 induces translocation of DAF-16 and activation of HSP-16 [18536978]. Worm +10 to +20
    Resveratrol supplementation Resveratrol significantly extends the lifespan [12939617]. Yeast
    Resveratrol supplementation Resveratrol supplementation prolongs the lifespan [15254550; 17460219], but not in any case [17875315]. Worm
    Resveratrol supplementation Supplementation with resveratrol extends the lifespan [15254550], but not in always [17875315]. Fly
    Resveratrol supplementation A maximum dose of resveratrol increases the median lifespan by 56% [16461283]. Fish +56
    Resveratrol supplementation Resveratrol conteracts the detrimental effects of a high-fat diet in mice an decreases the risk of death by 30% and thereby reverting it to the level of normal diet. It also partially corrected a subset of the abnormal gene expression profile and insulin as well as glucose metabolism [17086191]. Although resveratrol has a range of beneficial effects in elderly mice, it does not increase the longevity of *ad libitum* fed mice when started midlife [18599363]. Even at high doses and when started in young adulthood reseveratrol supplementation does not increase lifespan on a normal diet [17578509; 20974732]. Mouse
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment with rapamcyin increases mean, median, 75th %ile and maximum lifespan by 19-29, 17-29, 24-32 an 19%, respectively on OP50. On HT115 rapamycyin extends mean, median and 75th %ile of lifespan by 8-36, 4-46 and 12-44%, respectively. Rapamycin robustly increases lifespan in two daf-16 mutants (mgDf47 and mu86) with or without FUdR and with growth on either the standard strain OP50 or the feeding RNAi strain HT115 [22560223]. Worm +8 to +29 +4 to +46 +19
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment with rapamcyin increases mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 19 and 16% Rapamycin fails to extend the lifespan of sir2 mutants or NAM treated wild-type cells [20947565]. Rapamcyin treatment increases mean chronological lifespan by by approximately by 80% in BY4742 [22790951]. Rapamycin extends chronological lifespan proportional with increasing concentrations from 100 pg/mL to 1 ng/mL [16418483] Yeast +19 to +50 +16
    Rapamycin treatment Rapamcyin increases mouse lifespan and healthspan even when administrated late in life (20 months) [19587680]. Rapamycin enhances learning and memory in young mice and improves these faculties in old mice thereby negating the normal decline in these functions with age. Rapamycin boost levels of neurotransmitters associated with neural plasticity. Rapamycin also lowered anxiety and depressive-like behaviour at all ages from 4, 12 and 28 months. "Happy, feel-good" neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine are all significantly augmented in the midbrains of rapamycin treated mice [http://denigma.de/url/37]. Treatment with rapamycin increased lifespan and suppresses spontanous tumorgenesis in inbred female mice [22107964]. Mouse
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with rapamycin induces increases of median (by 5-6%) lifespan (p < 0.01) in males and females, respectively and increase of maximum lifespan (by 33%) in females (p < 0.01) [22661237]. Low dose of LY294002 (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +5 to +6 +33
    Quercetin treatment Quercitin significantly extends the lifespan. Lifespan extension by quercitin has no effect on reproduction and body length. Quercitin induced lifespan extenison was neither dependent on a dietary restriction mimetic nor on sir-2.1 [19043800]. Worm
    Propargylglycine treatment Propargylglycine (PPG) inhibits gamma-cystathioinase, the second enzyme of the trans-sulfuration pathway (TSP). PPG is a specific suicidal inhibitor of gamma-cystathionase. Gluthatione (GSH) levels are decreased by PPG administration in flies subjected to DR, whereas there is no effect on fully fed animals. PPG robustly suppresses DR lifespan extension, while longevity of fully fed flies is not affected in different strains. Thus, indicating that the effect of PPG is specific to DR. PPG abrogates changes in lifespan that are normally observed when flies are maintained in different dietary concentrations and compositions [21930912]. Fly
    Procyanidin treatment Treatment with 65 microgram/mL Procyanidins from apple extends the lifespan of N2 and FEM-1 by 12.1 to 8.4%, respectively and does not modify grwoth, food intake of fecundity. Procyanidin treatment has no effect on mev-1 or sir-2.1 mutants [20717869]. Worm +8.4 to +12.1
    Pinitol supplementation Pinitol (a 3-methoxy analogue of D-chiro-inositol) supplementation to the diet. For both males and females, a 20 microMolar dose of pinitol significantly extends median lifespan by 13% (p < 0.05) and 12.5% (p < 0.05), respectively. Lifespan extension by pinitol is accompanied by protection against oxidative and starvation stresses, improvement in health span, and no reduction in fecundity. Pinitol increases organismal lifespan of both in dietary restriction and ad libitum conditions. Nuclear localization of foxo increases in pinitol-fed animals. Pinitol treatment significantly activates JNK and S6K, but not AKT [22843669]. Fly +12.5 to +13
    Phloridzin treatment Administration of the apple polyphenol phloridzin at doses of 3, 10, and 30 microMolar siginificantly prolongs the replicative lifespan in K6001 strain (p < 0.01; p < 0.001). Phloridizin improves the viability of cells under oxidative stress (7 microMolar H2O2) in a dose-dependent manner and increases the significantly the expression of SOD1, SOD2, and SIR2 [21597195].
