this term, used rarely, pertains to the provision of exogenous hormones or growth factor or cytokines or regulatory peptide factors that are taken up by cells or entire organisms to elicit responses. In this sense, the provision of such moieties with the growth medium during cell culture can be said to involve allocrine actions (see also: factor-dependent cells, autocrine, paracrine). Another example would be the provision of such moieties with breast milk. For another example of allocrine activity in Drosophila melanogaster see: sex peptide.
