Estrogen or testosterone (7)

I believe the answer is:

hormone

(Other definitions for hormone that I've seen before include "Growth secretion" , "Substance like insulin" , "Secretion transported in the blood" , "Internal secretion - moorhen (anag)" , "Glandular secretion with stimulating properties" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
