  Anisotropic spherically symmetric systems are studied in the connection and
densitized triad variables used in loop quantum gravity. The material source is
an anisotropic fluid, which is arguably the most commonly used source term in
anisotropic studies within general relativity. The gravitational+anisotropic
fluid constraints are derived and analyzed and then quantum gravity inspired
holonomy replacements are performed. The quantum properties of the fluid are
dictated by the modified constraint equations. Particular attention is paid to
wormhole throats, as they provide a simplistic model of the structures thought
to be ubiquitous in the quantum gravity space-time foam at high energy scales.
In comparison to the purely classical theory, the quantum corrections act to
increase the energy density of the fluid, which indicates that they may lessen
the energy condition violation present in the classical theory. Related to
this, in principle it would be possible to have scenarios where the classical
solution yields everywhere negative (with a zero at the throat) fluid energy
density but the corresponding quantum corrected theory possesses only small
regions of negative energy density or even everywhere non-negative energy
density.
