The liver plays a vital role in maintaining glucose homeostasis through processes such as glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis. Acute and chronic regulation of the enzymes involved is crucial for these processes. Transcription factors such as SREBP-1c and ChREBP are vital in controlling glucose metabolism, especially in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis paths.

It covers chromosomal architecture, chromatin structure and components, regulation of gene expression, and the dynamic nature of chromatin. Key topics include differences between euchromatin and heterochromatin, DNA packaging via histones and nucleosomes, supercoiling, and telomere biology.
