Alterations in gut microbial composition have emerged as a significant contributor to the pathophysiology of multiple diseases. Recently, its association with muscle health has pointed to its potential role in mediating sarcopenia. The current review focuses on the association of gut microbiota and mediators of muscle health, connecting the dots between the influence of gut microbiota and their metabolites on biomarkers of sarcopenia. It further delineates the mechanism by which the gut microbiota affects muscle health with progressing age, aiding the formulation of a multi-modal treatment plan involving nutritional supplements and pharmacological interventions along with lifestyle changes compiled in the review. Nutritional supplements containing proteins, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, creatine, curcumin, kefir, and ursolic acid positively impact the gut microbiome. Dietary fibres foster a conducive environment for the growth of beneficial microbes such as <i>Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium, Ruminococcus, and Lactobacillus</i>. Probiotics and prebiotics act by protecting against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokines. They also increase the production of gut microbiota metabolites like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which aid in improving muscle health. Foods rich in polyphenols are anti-inflammatory and have an antioxidant effect, contributing to a healthier gut. Pharmacological interventions like faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ghrelin mimetics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), and butyrate precursors lead to the production of anti-inflammatory fatty acids and regulate appetite, gut motility, and microbial impact on gut health.

For this purpose, 39 cases of PanNETs were examined with conventional (including serial sections) and immunochemistry procedures. In typical EVTs, the results show: 1) an insulated terminal vascular area, with a globular (glomeruloid) aspect, formed by a cluster of coiled microvessels, presenting CD31-, CD34-positive endothelial cells, αSMA-positive pericytes, and perivascular CD34-positive stromal cells/telocytes, separated by a pseudoglandular space from the surrounding trabeculae of tumor neuroendocrine cells; and 2) a pedicle joining the insulated terminal vascular area, with connective tissue tracts around the enclosing tumor trabeculae. EVTs predominate in the trabecular and nested gyriform pattern of PanNETs, with tumor trabeculae that follow a ribbon coil (winding ribbon pattern) around small vessels, which acquire a tufted image. In EVTs, secondary modifications may occur (fibrosis, hyalinization, myxoid changes, and calcification), coinciding or not with those of the connective tracts.
