Natural compounds such as Punica granatum have shown potential antidepressant effects, but their mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the antidepressant-like effects of an aqueous extract of P. granatum in male Swiss Webster mice and to explore the possible involvement of NO-related system. Acute administration of P. granatum (0.25\u20132 mg\/kg, i.p.) was tested in the forced swim and tail suspension tests. The interaction with NO signaling was examined through co-administration with an NO donor (sodium nitroprusside, SNP) and NOS inhibitors (NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, L-NAME and 7-nitroindazole, 7-NI). Biochemical markers of oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation and GSH\/GSSG ratio) were also assessed. P. granatum significantly reduced immobility and increased swimming behavior, consistent with an antidepressant-like effect. SNP, L-NAME, and 7-NI induced pro-depressant effects, which were prevented by P. granatum co-administration. Treatment also attenuated oxidative stress markers in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. These findings suggest that the antidepressant-like effects of P. granatum may involve interactions with NO signaling, although this interpretation remains indirect, as specific NO pathway indices were not measured. Acute P. granatum administration exerts antidepressant-like and antioxidant effects in male mice. The results support its potential as a natural candidate for depression treatment, particularly in conditions associated with oxidative imbalance and possible NO dysregulation. Future studies should confirm these mechanisms using direct molecular assessments and include female cohorts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms262110255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,23]],"date-time":"2025-10-23T01:14:02Z","timestamp":1761182042000},"page":"10255","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Role of Nitric Oxide in the Antidepressant Effect of an Aqueous Extract of Punica granatum L.: Effects on GSH\/GSSG Ratio and Lipoperoxidation in Adult Male Swiss Webster Mice"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Nancy","family":"Cervantes-Anaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Neuropsicofarmacolog\u00eda, Direcci\u00f3n de Neurociencias, Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatr\u00eda Ram\u00f3n de la Fuente Mu\u00f1iz, Calzada M\u00e9xico-Xochimilco 101, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14370, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandere","family":"Aedo-Torrado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Farmacobiolog\u00eda, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14330, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6634-7494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erika","family":"Estrada-Camarena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Neuropsicofarmacolog\u00eda, Direcci\u00f3n de Neurociencias, Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatr\u00eda Ram\u00f3n de la Fuente Mu\u00f1iz, Calzada M\u00e9xico-Xochimilco 101, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14370, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1451-8754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ver\u00f3nica","family":"P\u00e9rez de la Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Neurobioqu\u00edmica y Conducta, Instituto Nacional de Neurolog\u00eda y Neurocirug\u00eda Manuel Velasco Su\u00e1rez, Secretaria de Salud (SSA), Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14269, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8610-7404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Ram\u00edrez Ortega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Neurobioqu\u00edmica y Conducta, Instituto Nacional de Neurolog\u00eda y Neurocirug\u00eda Manuel Velasco Su\u00e1rez, Secretaria de Salud (SSA), Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14269, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4399-1508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Eva","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Trujano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Neurofarmacolog\u00eda de Productos Naturales, Direcci\u00f3n de Investigaciones en Neurociencias, Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatr\u00eda Ram\u00f3n de la Fuente Mu\u00f1iz, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14370, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9562-7193","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolina","family":"L\u00f3pez-Rubalcava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Farmacobiolog\u00eda, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN, Ciudad de M\u00e9xico 14330, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1007\/s12264-010-0323-7","article-title":"Behavioral animal models of depression","volume":"26","author":"Yan","year":"2010","journal-title":"Neurosci.
