The present experiments evaluated in rats the effects of prenatal and postnatal exposure to a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent, flunoxaprofen (5-10 and 20 mg/kg/day by the oral route), on cardiovascular function in the pups. In both conscious and anaesthetized rats pre- and postnatal flunoxaprofen exposure at the 30th and 60th day of age, significantly (P less than .05) induced a decrease of pressor response to carotid-sinus baroreceptor stimulation and to L-noradrenaline (0.1-1 and 5 micrograms/kg iv), and an increase of the hypotensive responses to L-isoprenaline (0.01-0.1 and 1 microgram/kg iv) and acetylcholine (0.01-0.1 and 1 microgram/kg iv). These effects were not observed in rats on the 90th day of age. Moreover, pre- and postnatal flunoxaprofen exposure did not modify systolic arterial blood pressure of plasma levels of catecholamines and acetylcholinesterases. Our results also show that in normotensive rats flunoxaprofen exposure during pregnancy did not affect the body weight, systolic or diastolic blood pressure or heart rate of pregnant rats. It did not affect the length of gestation, number of pups per litter or pup body weight. No macroscopic teratogenic effects were observed.
