Mice genetically engineered to lack glutathione peroxidase 1 (Gpx1 â/â mice) are grossly phenotypically normal and have normal lifespans, indicating this enzyme is not critical for life. However, Gpx1 â/â mice develop cataracts at an early age and exhibit defects in muscle satellite cell proliferation.owever, glutathione peroxidase 4 knockout mice die during early embryonic development. Some evidence, though, indicates reduced levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 can increase life expectancy in mice.
