Given what we know about biological mechanisms, we can confirm that both of these statements are in fact true in regards to regulation and gene expression.
Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain constant a series of processes and values that we need in order to survive. To do this, regulation in cells is essential. Regulation allows us to respond rapidly to changes in the environment by regulating the processes which control the homeostasis for that environmental change.
Gene regulation or expression is another way in which the body maintains homeostasis. For example, in the presence of too much substrate, the gene encoding a specific enzyme might activate, causing the creation of the enzyme and getting substrate levels back to normal.
Inversely, if the body detects that substrate levels may be too low, the expression of any gene that may consume that substrate can be silenced, therefore maintaining a balanced level.
