Dysregulation of redox homeostasis is implicated in the ageing process and the pathology of age-related diseases. To study redox signalling by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> in vivo, we established a redox-shifted model by manipulating levels of the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-degrading enzyme catalase in Drosophila. Here we report that ubiquitous over-expression of catalase robustly extends lifespan in females. As anticipated, these flies are strongly resistant to a range of oxidative stress challen ...[more]
