1ATP, 3 NADH, 2CO2 and 1FADH2 are the products of Krebs Cycle that i see from many different books.

Schaum's easy outline says
"summary of key events in aerobic metabolism following glycolysis per glucose molecule
in: 2 pyruvates, 4 NAD, 2 FAD
out: 6CO2, 4NADH, 2FADH, and 2ATP."

shouldn't it be 6NADH per glucose(2 pyruvates) since 3 NADH are made in each cycle? I don't understand why Schaum's wrote that 4NADH are coming out instead of 6NADH?

oh and DAT destroyer also say that 2 cycle of Krebs cycle produces 1 mole of glucose, but isn't it glycolysis? or does Krebs cycle also produce 1 mole of glucose after 2 turns just like glycolysis?

hangon. I thought glycolysis is 2 NET ATP, 2NADH and 2 Pyruvates?

yeah but that's glycolysis and this is Kreb's cycle which is the the aerobic and happens after glycolysis.

since other books say 1ATP, 3 NADH, 2CO2 and 1FADH2 per 1 pyruvate?
CONFUSING QUESTION

All I am asking is what are the products of Kreb's cycle.
and also if you can understand what Schaum's easy outline is trying to say since it has different way of explaning the products of Kreb's cycle.
