A role for nitrergic system in the antidepressant-like effects of chronic lithium treatment in the mouse forced swimming test
Nitric oxide involvement in additive antidepressant-like effect of agmatine and lithium in mice forced swim test
NMDA receptor/nitrergic system blockage augments antidepressant-like effects of paroxetine in the mouse forced swimming test
TLDR
It is suggested, for the first time, a possible role for NMDAR/NO signaling in the antidepressant-like effects of paroxetine, providing a new approach for the treatment of depression.
Involvement of NO/cGMP pathway in the antidepressant-like effect of gabapentin in mouse forced swimming test
TLDR
The results indicate that the antidepressant-like effect of gabapentin in the mice FST model is mediated at least in part through nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway.

Systemic Administration of Nω-Nitro-l-Arginine Methyl Ester and Indomethacin Reduces the Elevation of Brain PGE2Content and Prevents Seizures and Hippocampal Damage Evoked by LiCl and Tacrine in Rat
TLDR
Indomethacin (10 mg/kg given i.p. 30 min before tacrine), an inhibitor of COX activity, prevented brain PGE2 elevation and abolished the expression of seizures and hippocampal damage thus supporting a role for this metabolite of the arachidonic acid cascade in the mechanisms of LiCl and tacrine-evoked neurotoxicity in rat.

TLDR
It is concluded that basal conditions are unsuitable for the study of antidepressant effects on NOS, and that the neurochemistry of nitric oxide remains unaltered following chronic citalopram or subchronic lithium under normal physiological conditions.
Additive effects of lithium and antidepressants in the forced swimming test: further evidence for involvement of the serotoninergic system
TLDR
The hypothesis that the potentiation by lithium of ADS is via direct 5HT mechanisms, indirect via a NA/5HT link, and/or by second messenger systems is supported.

TLDR
Data implicate an involvement of a glutamatergic-mediated NO:cGMP transduction mechanism in the action of Li+.
