title: Of TICE in Men.
abstract: Cholesterol homeostasis is achieved by balancing rates of endogenous synthesis, absorption, and elimination. Although biliary secretion into the intestinal lumen is classically considered as the only significant route for cholesterol elimination, Jakulj et al. (2016) reveal in this issue how transintestinal cholesterol excretion (TICE) accounts for substantial cholesterol losses.
