You gain 1 NADH and acetyl CoA during the conversion of 1 pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
1 molecule of CO2 per one puryvate
Pyruvate
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex react with pyruvate to form acetyl-CoA
The product from glycolysis, a 3 carbonn pyruvate, has Coenzyme A and an NAD+ added to it with the help of an enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and the products are a 2 carbon Acetyl Coenzyme A, CO2, NADH + H+.
The formation of acetyl-CoA
Acetyl CoA forms.

For one molecule of Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) the Krebs cycle produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2), 3 molecules of NADH, one molecule of FADH2, and one molecule of ATP.Also, the change from pyruvate to acetyl CoA produces one NADH and one carbon dioxide molecule; CoA is recycled in and out of the cycle.
The formation of acetyl-CoA
Pyruvate -> Acetyl CoA -> Citrate which is used by the Krebs or Citric Acid Cycle.
