Exocytosis of macrophage lysosomes leads to digestion of apoptotic adipocytes and foam cell formation

Many types of apoptotic cells are phagocytosed and digested by macrophages. Adipocytes can be hundreds of times larger than macrophages, so they are too large to be digested by conventional phagocytic processes.
