PrepTest 89, Section 2, Question 18
Some potential anticancer drugs work by depriving growing tumors of needed blood vessels. The creation of blood vessels is called angiogenesis, and the experimental drugs work by inhibiting this process. The same drugs have been found to prevent obesity in rodents.

The statements above, if true, lend the strongest support to which one of the following?
The cells in tumors are more similar in structure to fat cells than to other cells in the body.
Drugs that inhibit angiogenesis would probably enable obese humans to lose weight.
Fat tissue depends on angiogenesis in order to grow.
Rodents with cancer are more likely to be obese than healthy rodents.
Drugs that inhibit angiogenesis also prevent absorption of vital nutrients.
