Oestrogen or adrenaline, say (7)

I believe the answer is:

hormone

(Other definitions for hormone that I've seen before include "Secretion affecting behaviour" , "Stimuating substance produced by body" , "Compound" , "Internal secretion - moorhen (anag)" , "Secretion transported in the blood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
