Overexpression of Prx3Scer\UAS.cRa using Scer\GAL4arm.PS, Scer\GAL4da.G32 or Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL does not have any significant effect on susceptibility to oxidative stress or longevity.
Overexpression of Prx3Scer\UAS.cRa using Scer\GAL4Appl.G1a has no effect on longevity, although resistance to oxidative stress is increased particularly in middle-aged (30 day old) flies. However, overexpression of Prx3Scer\UAS.cRa using Scer\GAL4elav-C155 or Scer\GAL4D42 did not confer similar effects.
