faah-1 overexpression | faah-1 overexpression reduces eicosapentaenoyl ethanolamide (EPEA), palmitoleyol ethanolamide, linoleyol ethanolamide, as well as arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA) levels, delays development, increases thermal stress resistance, and was associated with mean and maximum adult lifespan extension by 19 and 35%, respectively, in presence of abundant food but not under (two different protocols of) DR. Overexpression in pharynx was largely sufficient for this lifespan extension [21562563]. | Worm | +19 | — | +35 |

Akh knockdown | Knockdown of the adipokinetic hormone (Akh) by RNAi (with an RU486-inducible and ubiquitously expressing Actin 5C-GS Gal4 strain) does not by itself affect lifespan, but significantly inhibits the DR-dependent increase in lifespan across a range of yeast concentrations in both females and males. While control females and males exhibit a 113%/22% increase in lifespan under DR, upon Akh inhibition there was a significant reduction in lifespan extension with DR (52%/5%). Global Akh knockdown reduces starvation resistance by 24% upon DR, but no significant change upon AL. Also Akh RNAi repressed the DR-dependent increase in cold-stress resistance. Fat body and neuronal-specific inhibition of Akh by using RU486-inducible S(1)106-GS-Gal4 and Elav-GS-Gal4 enhancer traps, respectively, does not reduce lifespan extension upon DR. But, muscle-specific inhibition of Akh using RU486-inducible muscle enhancer trap (Mhc-GS-Gal4) reduces the DR-dependent increase in lifespan. While control exhibit a 47.2% lifespan extension, animals with muscle-specific Akh inhibition fails to result in any increase upon DR (i.e. completely blocked the DR lifespan extension). Muscle-specific Akh inhibition diminishes the increase in triglyceride synthesis and breakdown present normally under DR. A significant reduction in lifespan extension also occurs with a noninducible muscle driver (Mhc-Gal4). Controls on DR exhibit significant higher levels of spontaneous activity compared to Akh RNAi-inhibited animals at all ages. Akh inhibition reduces the protective effect of DR on age-related decline in muscle function/activity [22768842]. | Fly | — | — | — |

trx-1 overexpression | trx-1 overexpression extends lifespan in wild-type but not in eat-2 mutants. Ectopic expression of trx-1 in ASJ neurons (but not in the intestine) in trx-1 mutants rescues the lifespan-extension conferred by eat-2 mutation. trx-1 overexpression extends lifespan of wild-type but not in eat-2 mutants. trx-1 deletion almost completely suppresses lifespan extension induced by dietary deprivation (DD). DD upregulates trx-1 expression in ASJ neurons. DR activates trx-1 in ASJ neurons which in turn triggers a trx-1-dependent non-cell autonomous mechanism to extend adult lifespan [21334311]. | Worm | — | — | — |
