I think you are talking about the Krebs Cycle here or otherwise known as citric acid cycle
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
Acetyl Co-A
Pyruvate
Fatty acids only
Catabolism is the breakdown of molecules into smaller units. The molecule that is common to the catabolism of fat and glucose is known as acetyl CoA.
That would be the Kreb's cycle. Also known as the citric acid cycle.
In eukaryotic cells, acetyl CoA is produced in the mitochondria from molecules derived from sugars and fats.

Acetyl Co-A
Pyruvate
2: Two molecules of acetyl CoA molecules are produced by one glucose molecule, since each full round of the citric acid cycle yields one, and it takes 2 full completions because glucose yields two pyruvates. (:
glucose-6-phosphate, pyruvic acid, acetyl CoA

Cholesterol synthesis from acetyl CoA molecules
Fatty acids only
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.
