Overview

Russell T. Turner is affiliated with Oregon State University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with a strong emphasis on physiology, orthopedics and sports medicine, molecular biology, epidemiology, and genetics.

The scientist's main research topics include adipose tissue and metabolism, bone health and osteoporosis research, adipokines, inflammation, and metabolic diseases, spaceflight effects on biology, regulation of appetite and obesity, endometriosis research and treatment, and bone metabolism and diseases.

Their recent publications demonstrate a concentration on bone health and metabolism as well as metabolic influences on bone and adipose tissues. Notable papers include:

  • 17α-Estradiol prevents ovariectomy-mediated obesity and bone loss, 2020, Experimental Gerontology
  • Effects of Propranolol on Bone, White Adipose Tissue, and Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue in Mice Housed at Room Temperature or Thermoneutral Temperature, 2020, Frontiers in Endocrinology
  • Validating Causal Diagrams of Human Health Risks for Spaceflight: An Example Using Bone Data from Rodents, 2022, Biomedicines
  • Rapamycin impairs bone accrual in young adult mice independent of Nrf2, 2021, Experimental Gerontology
  • Effects of graded increases in ethanol consumption on biochemical markers of bone turnover in young adult male cynomolgus macaques, 2021, Alcohol

Russell T. Turner has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Urszula T. Iwaniec, Adam J. Branscum, Carmen P. Wong, Lara H. Sattgast, and Dawn A. Olson. These partnerships encompass various studies related to their scientific interests.

The scientist has published extensively in select venues, reflecting their focus areas. Frequent publication outlets include:

  • Bone Reports
  • Current Developments in Nutrition
  • International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • Journal of Endocrinology
  • Bone

This body of work underscores engagement with both foundational and applied aspects of bone biology, adipose tissue regulation, and impacts of environmental and pharmacological factors on physiological systems. Their research also addresses conditions relevant to spaceflight and metabolism-related diseases.
