%X This research investigated the effect of Piliostigma thonningii leaf extract on maternal and offspring lipid profiles following acetaminophen-induced toxicity in Wistar rats. Twenty-five pregnant rats (180-200 g) were assigned based on their body weight to groups I-V and treated thus: animals in groups II-V were orally administered 200 mg/kg b.w acetaminophen, 200 mg/kg b.w. P. thonningii, 100 mg/kg b.w. P. thonningii +200 mg/kg b.w. acetaminophen, and 200 mg/kg P.thonningii + 200 mg/kg b.w. acetaminophen, respectively, while group I served as the control. Lipid profile assay was performed after 28 days of animal experimentation. We observed that the maternal triglyceride (TG) and HDL concentrations of group II were significantly (P
