Males heterozygous for a null mutation of Rpd3 have a lifespan extension of 41 - 47%. Females carrying a null mutation have only modest increase in maximum lifespan (but not median lifespan). Longevity increases to the same extent in wild-type under low-calorie diet and rpd3 mutants fed normal diet. DR fails to further increase lifespan of rpd3 mutants [12459580].
Mean: +41 to +47
