Changes in histone lysine acetylation, but not DNA methylation during facultative hibernation in Syrian hamster liver

Abstract Background Hibernation (torpor) is a strategy to survive extreme environmental conditions, associated with a significant decrease in metabolism and body temperature. The inducibility by the environment of torpor for facultative hibernators designates epigenetic mechanisms as likely candidat...
