08/01/2007 - "Bentonite was administered by gavage at a dose of 5 g/kg. Poisoning in these cases is usually associated with the farmer allowing his/her birds to roam free-range in paddocks in which toxic plants are growing. "
04/01/1991 - "Bentonite as therapy for Lantana camara poisoning of cattle."
12/01/1980 - "Potential of organic cation-saturated montmorillonite as treatment for poisoning by weak bases."
12/01/1980 - "The potential utility of montmorillonite saturated with an organic cation as an adsorbent for the emergency treatment of poisoning by weak bases is suggested."

02/15/2005 - "Although pain or discomfort was not significantly improved in the entire IBS population treated with beidellitic montmorillonite in comparison with placebo, this study demonstrates that beidellitic montmorillonite is efficient for C-IBS patients (P < 0.016). "
02/15/2005 - "This effect of beidellitic montmorillonite on pain cannot be explained by changes in bowel habits. "

06/01/2009 - "In hemolysis assay human erythrocytes served as target cells and were exposed to the two kinds of bentonite at the doses of 0, 0.3125, 0.6250, 1.2500 and 2.5000 mg/ml for ten min. In other four assays, human B lymphoblast cells (HMy2.CIR) served as target cells and were exposed to the two kinds of bentonite at the doses of 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, 120 and 180 microg/ml for four h. "
06/01/2009 - "In hemolysis assay, the hemolysis rates induced by two kinds of bentonite at all doses were significantly higher than that of control (P<0.05); in CCK-8 assay, the cellular activities in acid bentonite group at the doses > or =30 microg/ml and in organic bentonite group at the doses > or =20 microg/ml were significantly lower than that of control (P<0.01); the similar results appeared in NRU assay and LDH assay, and the dose-effect relationship was observed in above 4 assays. "
06/01/2009 - "The cytotoxicity of two kinds of bentonite was detected using CCK8 assay, neutral red uptake (NRU) assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage assay, apoptosis assay and hemolysis assay. "
06/01/1981 - "The biological activity of montmorillonite, palygorskite, kaolinite, chrysotile, and silica was examined using in vitro hemolysis of erythrocytes. "
06/01/1981 - "The polymer poly-2-vinylpyridine-N-oxide inhibited hemolysis caused by montmorillonite, palygorskite, kaolinite, and silica, but it was less effective with chrysotile. "

05/01/1999 - "While bentonite plus aflatoxin resulted in significant reduction in fetal body weight, none of the fetuses from HSCAS or bentonite plus aflatoxin-treated groups had any gross, internal soft tissue or major skeletal malformations."
