Abstract
Sarcopenia is becoming prevalent in older or inactive patients, which is placing a heavy burden on the social health system. Studies on the pathogenesis of sarcopenia mainly focus on adipose tissue, myoglobin autophagy, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Up to now, non-drug treatment has been the main way to treat sarcopenia, and there are no drugs specially approved for the treatment of sarcopenia. Here, the pathophysiology and treatment methods of sarcopenia have been summarized, and new drugs for sarcopenia to be researched and developed in the future have been prospected.

Aims & Scope
This journal is devoted to timely reviews and original articles of experimental and clinical studies in the field of endocrine, metabolic, and immune disorders. Specific emphasis is placed on humoral and cellular targets for natural, synthetic, and genetically engineered drugs that enhance or impair endocrine, metabolic, and immune parameters and functions. Moreover, the topics related to effects of food components and/or nutraceuticals on the endocrine-metabolic-immune axis and on microbioma composition are welcome.
