title: [Effect of the bilateral amygdaloid complex lesion on the hypothalamic l-leucinaminepeptidase activity in the male adult (author's transl)].
abstract: The effect of bilateral lesion of the amygdaloid nuclear complex on the hypothalamic L-leucinaminepeptidase (LAP) activity has been studied in the rat. Amygdalectomized animals show an increase in this activity, specially when lesion extends to the whole complex or when the basolateral and basomedial nuclei remain intact. The increase in LAP activity is not so significant when the lesion does not affect the cortical nucleus.
