| Abstract: | Summary The distribution of the enzyme leucine amino peptidase (LAP) has been studied histochemically in immature and mature guinea-pig testes. Immature guinea-pig testis showed a very feeble LAP activity, while in mature ones strong LAP activity was noted. The present communication indicates a direct relationship between the activity of the enzyme LAP and sexual maturation. |
