    Has any consideration been given to the treatment of OSA by the use of Adipotide therapy?  It is my understanding that a significant contributor to OSA, is an enlarged neck size (my case ~ 21in. circumferance).  I believe the large neck size contributes to OSA by the relaxation of tissue during sleep.  I'm not sure if or how fat cells play into this condition, but believe the possibility exists that any loss in neck size (especially excess fats cells) could contribute to improvements in OSA by less obstruction.
    Your thoughts?
