Abstract
The maintenance of adequate amounts of bile acids in the liver, biliary tract, and intestine requires a finely tuned control of their synthesis. A paper in this issue of Cell Metabolism by Inagaki et al. (2005) indicates that sensing of the levels of bile acids in the intestine may trigger the secretion of a hormone which regulates bile acid production in the liver.
