Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Overexpression of the D-GADD45 gene in the nervous system leads to a significantly increase of Drosophila lifespan without a decrease in fecundity and locomotor activity. The lifespan extension effect is more pronounced in males than in females. In addition an increase in maximum life span was detected.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum male lifespan is up to 59% higher; Maximum female lifespan is up to 50% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median male lifespan is up to 77% higher; Median female lifespan is up to 46% higher.
