NADH is it reduced or oxidised in the TCA cycle?
I thought NAD+ goes into the cycle there oxidising the cycle.

It depends on if it's malate-aspartate (3) or glycerol phosphate pathway (2).

It always depend on if it's malate-aspartate or glycerol phosphate pathway.

1 NADH oxidized to give 3ATP molecules (malate-aspartate shuttle).
On the other hand, 1 NADH oxidized to give 2ATP (in glycerol phosphate shuttle).
1 FADH2 oxidized to give 2ATP molecules.
On the other hand, 1 NADH oxidized to give 2ATP (in glycerol phosphate shuttle).
1 FADH2 oxidized to give 2ATP molecules.
