In general, nuclear fusion produces a new atom (or, in some cases, two atoms), a change in the amount of heat present and possibly some other emission. The specific products of nuclear fusion depend on what is being fused.
The fusion of 2H + 2H produces 3H + a proton + 4.02 MeV
The fusion of 2H + 3H produces 4He + a neutron + 17.6 MeV
The fusion of 6Li + 2H can produce 4He + 4He + 22.4 MeV
In the cases where fusion produces atoms heavier than iron, the reaction is endothermic, consuming heat rather than producing it.
