The effect of ketoprofen, an antiprostaglandin sustance that inhibits the enzyme ciclooxigenase, had been studied on the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) in 10 Jersey, male calves, from 1 to 2 months old. They were born at sea level and exposed during 3 days to a environmental hypoxia of 3 320m. of altitude and were divided in 2 groups of 5 animals each: Control Group which received destiled water as placebo, and Treatment Group which received ketoprofen in dose of 3mg/kg body weight for 5 consecutive days during its permanence at sea level. The mPAP was determinated by cardiac cateterism at sea level and 3 days after arriving to altitude. The mean values of mPAP (mmHg) at sea level were: Control Group 19,00 ± 0,94 and Treatment Group 21,00 ± 3,39; whereas at the altitude were: Control Group 39,50 ± 6,00 and Treatment Group 31,25 ± 5,70. Since there was not significative effect due to ketoprofen, the two groups were joined and analysed together, obtaining the following values for mPAP: At sea level 20,00 ± 2,68 and at day 3 of exposition to altitude 35,28 ± 7,16. These results induce us to sugest that ketoprofen have not significative effect (p>0.05) on the mPAP in Jersey calves exposed during 3 days at altitude hypoxia, however just the effect of this hypoxia increased significatively (p≤0.05) the mPAP.
