Isis
Isis (Greek) Ast (Egyptian) Chief goddess of the Egyptian popular pantheon, daughter of Seb and Nut. Generally portrayed bearing the papyrus scepter and the ankh, wearing the vulture headdress with the uraeus on her forehead from which rose a pair of horns (either cow's or ram's) encircling the solar disk: the horns represented mystic nature and the moon (SD 2:31). Her attributes pertain to the Great Mother, the personification of concrete nature, giving birth to and nourishing all things, portrayed by ancient artists as the mother suckling her babe.
The mythological aspect stresses the dutiful mother and faithful wife. Her sorrow upon the death of her husband, Osiris, as well as her wanderings in search of his body, are very similar to those of the Greek nature goddess Demeter searching for her daughter Persephone. To Isis is also attributed the knowledge of the potency of mantras, with which she revivifies her poisoned son, Horus.
Osiris, Isis, and Horus form the Egyptian triad of Father-Mother-Son. Isis is credited with the characteristics of most of the other goddesses of the pantheon, but her chief attribute of producer and giver of life is manifested even in the underworld, where her help sustains the deceased. The symbol of Isis in the heavens was the star Sirius.

AST
formerly SGOT--Aspartate aminotransferase - a protein which, when found in the blood in elevated quantities, generally indicates liver damage. (although less specific for liver damage than ALT) present in the kidney ,brain, skeletal muscle, heart as well as the liver. AST levels also increase in muscle injury, MI, CNS disease, heart failure, and other nonhepatic disorders. Regardless of some nonspecificity, high levels indicate liver cell damage. Values of more than 500 IU/L suggest toxic or acute viral hepatitis. These high values also occur in heart failure (ischemic hepatitis) and with common duct stones. The high value of the numbers has no prognostic value and does not correlate with the degree of liver damage. AST is reliable and part of routine screening for liver disease. Serial testing provides good monitoring: A fall to normal indicates recovery unless associated with the end stages of massive hepatic necrosis. Increase of aspartate aminotransferase is seen in any condition involving necrosis of hepatocytes, myocardial cells, or skeletal muscle cells. Decreased serum AST is of no known clinical significance

Aspartate transaminase
Aspartate transaminase (AST) also called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT/AAT) is similar to alanine transaminase (ALT) in that it is another enzyme associated with liver parenchymal cells.
