Claudins, the main regulators of intestinal barrier permeability responded to chronic stress of social isolation and/or simultaneous blockade of MR in female rats by alterations independent of changes in the brain cortex. The results suggest a physiological role of MR in the control of claudin expression in the small intestine, but not in the brain cortex.
