Abstract: Several compounds of plant origin like Ascorbic acid, ellagic acid and tannins are known to be associated with anti mutagenic activity. Mechanism of mutagenesis is complex and different in different mutagens and thus antimutagenesis process is also varied. During present investigation protective effects of. A. spinosous and A. hybridus ethanolic extracts exhibit concentration dependent effect of EMS induced toxicity against S. typhimurium. The 95% of survival S.typhimurium at concentration of 8 mg/plate of ethanolic extract of A.spinosus and A.hybridus caused  96% survival of S. typhimurium against EMS induced toxicity at 8 mg/plate concentration. 

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of resistance training on leukocytes among netball players. To achieve this purpose of the study, thirty netball players who were attended the National Games camp held at Mar Baselios College of Engineering and Technology, Trivandrum.  The selected subjects were aged between 18 to 22 years.   They were divided into two equal groups of fifteen each, Group I underwent resistance training and Group II acted as control that did not participate in any special training apart from their regular curricular activities.  The subjects were tested on selected criterion variable such as leukocytes prior to and immediately after the training period.  The selected criterion variable such as leukocytes was determined through Neubeaurs Haemocytometer.  The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences if any, between the experimental group and control group on selected criterion variable.  In all the cases, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance, which was considered as an appropriate.  The result of the present study has revealed that there was a significant difference among the experimental and control group on leukocytes.
