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.

In Turkey, samphire is steamed and eaten as a 'meze,' or starter, and served most often as a prelude to fish and seafood meals. Once it's steamed and removed from its hard inner stalks, the taste, color, and texture of the cooked flesh actually resemble asparagus. Samphire is a wellness food. It's low in calories, rich in trace minerals that are important for good health and it contains no saturated fat or cholesterol. Like many other Turkish regional dishes and 'meze,' this starter is good for vegetarians and vegans, too.
