looking for information on SERMs that spare breast tissue but block estradiol effects in mammary tissue elsewhere

so I was reading wikipedia and found

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammary_ridge#Milk_lines_in_humans

"[Recent study] focal fat pads on the front of human torsos are of mammary ridge origin. 8 pairs of fatty mounds were consistently found running along a curved line from the armpits to the groins [...] This finding explains why fat on the front of the body is less responsive to diet and exercise than fat elsewhere in most people -- [...] breast origin and therefore sensitive more to hormonal influence than caloric intake or burn."

so now I'm wondering if there's any SERMs that spare breast growth in the breasts but not mammary tissue elsewhere

to be clear the study is preliminary and n=20 cis people

oh shoot, i've never even considered how the milk line would interact with SERMs.

i just skimmed through this article and found this:

raloxifene seems to act estrogenically on the leptin-ghrelin hormone system helping to prevent abdominal adiposity

..actually, wait.
for a moment, i wondered whether ”abdominal adiposity“ may be related to the milk line fat that you're mentioning.
but, the fact that they're suppressed through estrogenic activity sounds like it's something else...

sounds like there might be all kinds of fat going on in front of the torso

whether milk line tissue would be something people would test SERMs against would be interesting to me, but,.. would anyone have actually done that

i'm also curious as to whether the inverse is true.

could milk line fatty tissue contribute to feminizing a torso?
if someone doesn't want breasts, would taking e.g., raloxifene suppress estrogenic activity on their milk line fat, thereby possibly suppressing the feminization of their torso?

could there be SERMs then that act solely on the pectoral breast tissue and not on others?
