Hormone synthesised by Latino men (9)

I believe the answer is:

melatonin

'hormone' is the definition.
(I know that melatonin is a type of hormone)

'synthesised by latino men' is the wordplay.
'synthesised' is an anagram indicator.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'latino' after 'men' is 'menlatino'.
'menlatino' is an anagram of 'MELATONIN'.

(Another definition for melatonin that I've seen is " Hormone secreted by the pineal gland".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
