What's the difference between hyperoxide and peroxide?
Hyperoxide
Definition:
(n.) A compound having a relatively large percentage of oxygen; a peroxide.

(19) However, this reoxidation of NADH was only partial in the mild and moderate groups, and a pronounced hyperoxidation occurred in the severe group.
Peroxide
Definition:
(n.) An oxide containing more oxygen than some other oxide of the same element. Formerly peroxides were regarded as the highest oxides. Cf. Per-, 2.
Example Sentences:

(4) Studies were conducted in isolated, buffer-perfused rat lungs to determine if prostaglandin (PG) E1 attenuated pulmonary edema provoked by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
(5) Spontaneous lipid peroxidation in washed human spermatozoa was induced by aerobic incubation at 32 C and measured by malonaldehyde production; loss of motility during the incubation was determined simultaneously.
(6) Changes in the plasma lipid composition are observed in patients and animals with malignancy and certain other diseases that are consistent with peroxidation of plasma lipoprotein lipids.
