The test would however, need to reflect changes in biological activity over time, and would also need to closely correlate to changes in disease state (e.g. progression of symptoms).

How to Roast Asparagus. We'll show you how to cook asparagus in the oven -- the key is roasting it at a high temperature until tender. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place asparagus on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss lightly to coat. If desired, season with salt and black pepper. Roast, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until crisp-tender, lightly tossing twice during roasting.
