| (R)-N-(2-heptyl)-N-methylpropargylamine treatment | Addition of 0.66 ng/fly/day (R)-N-(2-heptyl)-N-methylpropargylamine to a sucrose-based diet resulted in no significant effect on lifespan, but lifespan reduction due to galactose feeding is partially suppressed by supplementation with (R)-deprenyl or (R)-N-(2-heptyl)-N-methylpropargylamine [9972869]. | Fly | — | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| Ablation of median neurosecretary cells | Flies with an ablation of median neurosecretary cells (which eliminates Ilp2 expression) exhibit a significant increase in mean and maximum lifespan over that of control flies and an increase to oxidative stress and starvation. 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 |
| 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 | — | — | — |
| Akh overexpression | Overexpression of Akh in a ubiquitousness manner enhances fat metabolism (significant increase in triglyceride synthesis and breakdown under AL), spontaneous activity (148% on AL and 154% on DR), and lifespan on AL (33%). However, despite and increase in movement under DR, lifespan is not increased under a restricted diet [22768842]. | Fly | — | +33 | — |
