A single turn of the Krebs cycle yields the following products: 3 NADH, 1 FADH₂, 1 GTP (or ATP), 2 CO₂, and 1 CoA-SH. The NADH and FADH₂ are used to produce ATP through the electron transport chain, and the cycle also regenerates oxaloacetate, allowing it to start again. The total energy yield per turn is approximately 10 ATP equivalents (through NADH, FADH₂, and ATP/GTP).
