    Objectives The management of diabetes is considered a global problem, and a cure is yet to be discovered. This study investigated the modulatory effect of Kigelia africana fruit on oxidative stress and hyperlipidaemic biomarkers in STZinduced diabetic rats, profiled phytoconstituents using GC-TOF-MS and evaluated antidiabetic effects on 3T3 L1 adipocytes. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats (120–150 g) were divided into six groups (n = 5). Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (60 mg/kg) and treated with 100, 200 and 400 of hexane fraction of KA for 28 days. Immunohistochemical evaluation was carried out using avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase (ABI) method. Catalase and SOD activities as well as the levels of total protein, albumin, bilirubin, triglyceride, cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein were measured. Key findings The expressions of oxidative stress and hyperlipidaemic biomarkers alongside fasting blood glucose concentrations were remarkedly decreased in KAtreated diabetic rats. Moreover, there was a significant increase in endocrine cell distribution, area covered with increase in b-cell mass, composition and morphology of KA-treated animals. Additionally, there was constant up-regulation in 3T3 L1 adipocytes due to the presence of phytoconstituents. Conclusion Kigelia africana fruit can act as a modulatory agent due to its ameliorative effects against oxidative stress
