The enterohepatic circulation of bile acids may now be described in its broad outlines. Methodology presently available appears sufficient for overall characterization in health and disease. The challenge of the future is to gain insight into the control of the enterohepatic circulation so that new therapeutic approaches to liver, biliary and intestinal disease may be developed.
