The enterohepatic circulation of bile salts and cholesterol plays a central role in maintaining whole body cholesterol homeostasis. Hepatic lipoprotei n metabolism is reviewed and the role of disturbances in bile salt metaboli sm in the pathogenesis of dyslipidemias is discussed. Further, the manipula tion of bile salt metabolism to treat dyslipidemia is reviewed.
