A number of biochemical patterns of blood serum were used as markers of the major components of cartilage and muscle tissues, which exhibited adequately the property of responses occurred in these tissues during elongation of an extremity by the Ilizarov's procedure. The content of these components was shown to correlate in dog blood serum and tissues. At the same time, the rate of hydration, concentration of proteoglycans and elastic properties of the joint cartilage were studied.
