Abstract

Enterohepatic Circulation: This is a very efficient mechanism whereby bile salts produced by hepatocytes are reabsorbed or recycled back to the liver when these bile salts have completed their functions in the intestine. Enterohepatic recycling is physiologically important for bile salt because the liver is unable to synthesis enough bile salts to meet the daily requirement for fat digestion.
