In aerobic conditions, NADH donates electrons to the electron - transport chain. As electrons move through the chain, protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane, and ATP is generated. This process also regenerates NAD⁺ from NADH. Forming lactic acid occurs in anaerobic conditions. Removing electrons from substrates in the citric acid cycle generates NADH, not recycle it to NAD⁺.
